Full Job Description
WHAT YOUR DAYS WILL ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE

This is a technical sales role with real-world impact. You'll work directly with commercial and industrial clients-property managers, building owners, chief engineers, and plant leaders-who rely on properly treated water systems to keep their operations running safely and efficiently. Your days will center on responding to inbound leads and referrals, prospecting within your territory, evaluating systems, pricing solutions, selling annual or multi-year contracts, and ensuring each new account transitions smoothly to the service team.

You're not expected to do everything yourself. At many water treatment companies, salespeople are also responsible for servicing accounts, delivering chemicals, and handling technical fieldwork. That's not how Tower Water operates. Here, you're supported by a full team, including warehouse and delivery staff, technical account managers who handle ongoing service, a compliance team that manages Legionella requirements, an office team that builds proposals, and a marketing team generating inbound leads. Your focus stays where it belongs: finding opportunities, closing new business, and expanding accounts.

As relationships grow, you'll also unveil other one time sales such as system cleanings or new equipment. The goal is steady, sustainable territory growth built on trust, responsiveness, and strong service delivery.

THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT FOR

This role is built for someone who already understands the water treatment world, or a closely related mechanical or HVAC environment, and is ready to take the next step in their career. You likely have three to four years of industry experience, a track record of closing new business, and the ability to manage your schedule independently in a field-based role. You're comfortable with basic math, Excel, and CRM tools, and you have a clean driver's license along with the willingness to obtain a state pesticide license.

Just as important, you take pride in doing things the right way. You follow clear processes, communicate well with both technical and non-technical contacts, and value working as part of a team. You're curious enough to understand the mechanical side of the systems you're selling, and you're motivated by the idea of taking on more responsibility, more ownership, and a clearer path forward in the industry.

LOCATION

This is a field-based role covering the New York metro area, including all five boroughs, along with upstate New York within roughly a 100-mile radius. You'll work from home, in the field, and occasionally from one of our offices, but this is not a sit-behind-the-desk position. Most of your time will be spent visiting client sites, evaluating systems, and building relationships face-to-face.

Benefits

COMPENSATION

Compensation is designed to provide strong stability upfront, with significant upside as your territory grows.

You'll start on a $140,000 base salary while you build your book of business. Once your territory reaches a consistent recurring revenue run rate, the plan transitions to a base-plus-commission structure designed to reward long-term growth. Commission rates increase as recurring revenue grows, with top performers earning well into the $200K+ range as their territory scales.

The structure is simple in philosophy: strong earnings stability while you build, then meaningful upside tied directly to the recurring revenue you create.

BENEFITS

Tower Water believes a strong company starts with healthy, supported people, and the benefits reflect that mindset. Along with a 401(k) with company match, health and dental insurance with strong employer contributions, pretax benefit options, employer-paid life insurance, employer-paid short-term disability insurance, paid time off based on tenure, paid holidays, and company-funded training and certifications, the company also invests in the day-to-day well-being of its team.

This year, Tower Water provided employees the option to receive a WHOOP health and performance monitor along with a one-year membership. The goal wasn't to track people, but to help them improve sleep, manage stress, and build healthier routines. More than seventy percent of the company chose to participate, creating a shared wellness community where coworkers encourage one another and celebrate progress together.

The benefits are shaped by real experiences, too. Years ago, when a team member faced a serious health challenge, ownership stepped in and created a company-sponsored gap insurance program to help bridge the difference between disability pay and normal income. That program still exists today, reflecting a simple belief: take care of the people who take care of the clients.
