• Conduct facility visits, process reviews, and application discovery meetings.

Consultative Technical Selling

• Understand customer inspection and measurement challenges before recommending solutions.
• Evaluate manufacturing processes, tolerances, GD&T requirements, and inspection workflows.
• Partner with Fowler Application Engineers to deliver demonstrations and technical evaluations.
• Recommend solutions that improve quality, repeatability, throughput, and compliance.

Grow and Manage a Territory

• Prospect and develop new strategic accounts.
• Execute territory growth plans and account development strategies.
• Maintain a robust pipeline of opportunities through CRM.
• Support distribution partners and conduct joint customer visits.
• Participate in trade shows, customer events, and product demonstrations.
