How to Apply for Field Sales Representative - Welding

at Fronius

🏢 About Fronius

Fronius stands out as a technology leader focused on sustainable energy solutions, combining innovative solar, battery, and welding technologies under one roof. Their commitment to 'efficient energy solutions for a sustainable future' means you'd be representing products that align with environmental responsibility while working for a company with strong European engineering roots and global presence.

About This Role

As a Field Sales Representative for Welding at Fronius, you'll implement solution-based selling strategies to increase market share across the USA, serving as both a sales professional and technical consultant. This role directly impacts the company's growth by establishing new prospects through cold calls, trade shows, and site visits while guiding customers to select the most effective welding solutions for their specific needs.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning planning of customer visits and route optimization, followed by 2-3 onsite demonstrations at manufacturing facilities or welding shops where you present Fronius solutions. You'd spend afternoons following up on leads, updating CRM with new prospects from trade shows or cold calls, and preparing technical proposals that position you as a trusted welding consultant rather than just a sales representative.
