Branch Manager – Technical Inside Sales Description

Our client is looking for a Branch Manager to lead their Halifax, NS location. Reporting to the Operations Director, this role combines hands‑on technical inside sales with branch leadership. Approximately two-thirds of your time will be spent supporting customers throughout Eastern Canada by preparing quotations, answering technical questions, recommending automation, instrumentation and valve solutions, and coordinating with manufacturers and suppliers. The remaining one-third of your time will focus on leading the branch: overseeing daily operations, coaching your team, and ensuring exceptional customer service.

This is not a quota‑driven sales position. Success comes from providing outstanding technical support, building customer relationships, and helping your team deliver responsive service. You’ll work alongside the same team you supervise, serving as both a technical resource and a hands‑on leader. The ideal candidate has experience in industrial automation, instrumentation, valves, process control, or a related field and enjoys balancing customer support with team leadership. This is a great opportunity to join a well‑established organization that values teamwork, innovation, and long‑term employee development.
