A Bit About Us

We are the regional sales and service partner for a global leader in industrial fluid system components (fittings, valves, tubing, hose, regulators, and custom assemblies) that help industries move liquids and gases safely and reliably. With decades serving a multi-state Upper Midwest territory, we combine distribution, custom design and assembly, and hands-on technical services under one roof. North Dakota is a key growth market for us, and we are adding engineering horsepower there to give every customer the same high level of service. Our team is collaborative, customer-obsessed, and built on long tenure and a quality-first mindset.

Why Join Us?

• Team selling model: Engineering, sales, and a dedicated inside account manager work each account together. You bring the technical expertise without owning a book of business or a solo quota.
• Pay tied to team success: A commission target based on department performance and activity, plus a company profit share bonus that every employee is eligible for.
• Vehicle, phone, and fuel covered: vehicle allowance, phone allowance, and a company card
• Growth market: You'll help build our presence in an underpenetrated state with plenty of work already waiting.
• Independence with backup: Run your own projects in the field with a full engineering, sales, and customer service team behind you.
• Development: Formal field engineering certification and ongoing specialized training in oil, gas, and chemical applications.

Role Overview

The Field Engineer is the technical expert for our oil, gas, and chemical customers across North Dakota. You'll partner with our sales team to find and win opportunities, design fluid system solutions, and support customers from first conversation through delivery. Roughly half the role is engineering, a quarter is in the field with customers, and a quarter is customer training and inventory management programs.

What You'll Do

• Serve on our oil, gas, and chemical market team, building deep knowledge of customer applications, needs, and industry trends.
• Work alongside sales on customer calls, recommend application-specific solutions, and support every stage of the sales cycle.
• Lead customer projects from concept to completion, including P&ID development, component selection, and confirming form, fit, and function.
• Lead onsite service work across the state, spotting system improvement opportunities and delivering technical value in the field.
• Help customers with inventory programs, including component selection and stocking.
• Deliver technical presentations and hands‑on training to customers and prospects.
• Contribute to market team sales strategy, using application knowledge to shape planning and uncover new business.
• Provide technical support, product guidance, and troubleshooting to customer service, sales, and customers.
• Review technical documents, drawings, and fabrication requirements to confirm solutions meet specifications.
• Manage several projects at once, collaborate on project handoffs, and review teammates' work.
• Earn and maintain a manufacturer-backed field engineering certification.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (mechanical preferred, other disciplines considered).
• 4–7 years of experience in project, manufacturing, production, or similar engineering roles preferred; strong candidates with 2+ years experience and degree considered.
• Oil, gas, or chemical industry experience (required).
• Customer-facing experience in sales, service, technical support, or field engineering strongly preferred.
• Technical support and fabrication experience preferred.
• Self-starter who works independently from a small satellite office.
• Strong communication; able to build credibility with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Natural problem solver with curiosity, analytical thinking, and strong organization.
• CAD/SolidWorks a plus.

Job Details

• Location: Williston, ND preferred; open to Bismarck or elsewhere in ND for the right person (work remote in North Dakota (if not local) and travel 1-2 days per week to customer sites)
• Travel: Statewide, about 1.5–2 days per week; roughly 4 weeks of overnights per year (low overnight travel), including 1–2 trips to company headquarters
• Commission: $12,000 target plus company profit sharing eligibility
