GRS Recruiting has partnered with a respected family-owned motion control manufacturer to find a driven Regional Sales Engineer to grow their presence in the greater Chicago area. This is an exciting opportunity to join a close-knit, entrepreneurial team where your voice matters and your impact is immediate.

What You’ll Do:

• Drive new business development across the region, with a strong focus on hunting and building new customer relationships.

• Sell technically complex solutions — primarily custom motion control systems and power transmission components.

• Act as a trusted technical advisor, collaborating with engineering and product teams to develop tailored solutions for each client.

• Manage your territory autonomously, while working closely with a collaborative national team.

• Travel as needed (30–40%) to meet with clients and partners.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience in motion control sales is highly preferred; related experience in gearboxes or power transmission also considered.

• Strong technical aptitude — engineering degree preferred.

• Hunter mentality: you’re proactive, persistent, and self-motivated.

• Comfortable wearing multiple hats and stepping into different roles when needed.

• Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Ability to work independently while thriving in a team-first culture.

Why Join This Company:

• No red tape – your ideas matter and leadership listens.

• Operate with entrepreneurial freedom and bring creative solutions to the table.

• A family-owned business with long-tenured employees and strong values.

• 80% of projects involve customized solutions — no commoditized selling here.

• Team-oriented culture: supportive, collaborative, and united by a common goal.

• Sell based on value and customization, not just price.
