Own a Territory. Build a Book of Business. Control Your Income.

This role is designed for sales professionals who want autonomy, accountability, and meaningful earning potential — not micromanagement.

As an Outside Sales Representative at Hodge Industrial, you will operate as the owner of a defined territory, managing the full sales cycle and building long-term customer relationships within the manufacturing sector.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not transactional sales.

You will sell mission-critical equipment that customers rely on daily to operate their facilities.

• Territory ownership model — manage your market like a business
• Strong service team support — technical experts help ensure customer success
• Established reputation with strong growth trajectory

Who We Are

Hodge Industrial provides sales and service of industrial compressed air systems — a lifeline to manufacturing operations. Without reliable compressed air, facilities risk shutdowns or significantly reduced capacity.

We exist to keep our customers’ plants running safely and efficiently.
