Job description

At Chem-Aqua, water isn’t just water—it’s an opportunity to make businesses run better, cleaner, and more efficiently. As a leader in custom-designed water treatment programs, we help keep boilers, cooling towers, process systems, and wastewater operations performing at their best.

We’re now part of Solenis, a global powerhouse in water and hygiene solutions, giving you the support, innovation, and stability of a company with reach across 160+countries.

If you want to join a growing team where your work makes a real, everyday impact… jump in. The water’s great.

What You’ll Do

• Build strong, long-term relationships with industrial, commercial, and municipal customers (from hospitals to data centers to manufacturing facilities).
• Spot opportunities to improve water systems—stopping corrosion, preventing scale, boosting efficiency, and avoiding downtime.
• Perform on-site water testing & analysis (don’t worry, we train you).
• Deliver smart, value-driven proposals that show customers exactly how they’ll save time and money.
• Grow new business AND level up existing accounts.
• Partner closely with our technical experts to deliver best‑in‑class solutions.
• Prospect through calls, networking, referrals, and site visits.
• Track progress, celebrate wins, and build success with a supportive team behind you.

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of B2B sales experience (technical sales a plus, but we train everything you need!).
• Bachelor’s degree preferred (or equivalent work experience).
• Strong communication skills and a genuine desire to help customers solve real problems.
• Comfortable traveling within your territory.
• Self-driven, organized, and curious learning about the world of water treatment.
• Valid driver’s license.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Make a real impact by helping customers operate efficiently and sustainably.
• Comprehensive and ongoing training—we provide continued sales training (to sharpen your selling skills and strategies) and technical training (on water treatment basics, testing, products, and solutions) delivered through a combination of virtual sessions, in-field/on-the-job coaching, and classroom-style sessions. No prior water treatment experience required—we invest in your growth from day one and throughout your career.
• Support from experienced technical pros and a collaborative team culture.
• Clear pathways for career growth

Is This You?

You love connecting with people, solving real operational challenges, and seeing the direct results of your work. You enjoy learning, exploring customer sites, and building a career in a growing, stable industry.
