Requirements and Qualifications

• · Bachelor’s degree
• · Excellent oral and written communication skills
• · Active listening skills and ability to react customer questions and requests.
• • Goal-oriented and hard-working, with a genuine drive to make a measurable impact on KEYENCE Canada's success.
• • Hungry to grow — through intensive training, hands‑on mentorship, and a proactive, process-driven sales approach.
• • Willing to travel 60% of the time, including occasional overnight trips.
• • Valid driver's license and access to your own vehicle.

Why Work for KEYENCE

• • Ranked on Forbes' World's Top 100 “Most Innovative Companies” list — 8 years running.
• • We hire entry-level only and invest in your growth from day one, building your sales career from the ground up.
• • Competitive compensation.
• • Health coverage for you and your family — medical, dental, and vision.
• • 2 weeks of starting vacation and 8 paid personal days.
• • Paid shutdown over the winter holidays.
• • Paid 3-month training period plus an ongoing professional development program.
• • Fully paid travel expenses.
• • Group RRSP plan after 6 months with KEYENCE.
