Technical Sales Representative delivering practical automation solutions.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am an adaptable, bilingual Technical Sales Representative with over 10 years of customer-facing experience across automation, industrial products, and retail. I build lasting relationships, manage B2B accounts, prepare quotes, and provide hands-on technical recommendations and troubleshooting to meet client needs.
Throughout my career I have combined sales targets with operations responsibilities—coordinating inventory, purchase planning, inbound/outbound shipments, and leading small teams to improve processes and responsiveness. I hold Hydraulics Level 1 and 2 certifications and have practical experience with relay systems, pneumatics, air compressors, and collaborative robot integrations.
I am seeking a stable, rewarding role where reliability, growth, and contribution are valued, and I bring strong communication skills in English and French, a proven track record of territory growth, and hands-on problem solving to every position.
