About this role
Air Equipment Company is looking for a Hydronic Equipment Sales Engineer to drive revenue growth across their hydronic systems business in Louisville. This role sits at the intersection of technical expertise and relationship management—you'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting through closing, while building and maintaining strategic partnerships with both customers and manufacturers. The position demands someone who can speak fluently about hydronic equipment and systems, translate technical specifications into customer solutions, and work collaboratively with Applied Commercial, Industrial, and Owner/Service sales teams to hit company revenue and profit targets.
The ideal candidate brings at least three years of HVAC hydronic equipment sales experience, ideally paired with a technical or engineering degree and familiarity with construction drawings, specifications, and project timelines. You'll spend roughly half to three-quarters of your time traveling within your territory, conducting account reviews, forecasting pipeline activity in the company CRM, and running quarterly planning meetings to set team goals. Strong communication skills—both written and verbal—and the ability to juggle competing priorities while staying focused on team objectives are essential.
This is a full-time, in-office position based in Louisville. The role offers the chance to grow a manufacturer line card, deepen technical expertise in a specialized segment, and contribute to a company with 75 years of industry presence and a national network backing local operations.
