🏢 About Smardt Chiller Group

Smardt Chiller Group is revolutionizing the HVAC industry with its oil-free centrifugal chiller technology, which dramatically reduces energy consumption by up to 50% compared to traditional systems. The company's focus on sustainability and cutting-edge engineering makes it an attractive workplace for professionals passionate about environmental impact and technological innovation in the built environment.

About This Role

As Regional Sales Manager for Western Territories, you'll be responsible for developing and executing sales strategies across LATAM to meet revenue targets, while building and managing a network of sales representatives. This role directly impacts Smardt's global expansion by driving adoption of their energy-efficient chiller technology in key markets, requiring both technical expertise and strategic business development skills.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves analyzing sales pipeline data for LATAM territories, conducting virtual meetings with potential representatives or clients across different time zones, developing technical proposals for large-scale chiller projects, and collaborating with engineering teams to address client-specific requirements. You'll balance strategic planning for territory growth with hands-on pursuit of key opportunities in the commercial HVAC market.

🎯 Who Smardt Chiller Group Is Looking For

  • Has 5-8 years of hands-on technical sales experience specifically with HVAC systems, chillers, or engineered equipment, not just general sales experience
  • Demonstrates proven success in meeting or exceeding annual sales quotas in the HVAC or industrial equipment sector
  • Possesses deep technical knowledge of chilled-water systems, centrifugal chillers, and energy-efficiency technologies (not just basic HVAC familiarity)
  • Has experience recruiting and developing sales representatives or channel partners in international markets, particularly LATAM
