This role is responsible for supporting customers in furniture manufacturing, sawmills, architectural millwork shops, custom woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and aerospace composite machining operations.

You’ll work with manufacturers that cut a broad range of materials, including solid wood, engineered wood products, and advanced composites such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), glass fiber (GFRP), Kevlar, and high-performance thermoplastics like PEEK, PEKK, and PPS — all common in aerospace applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Sell and support a portfolio of industrial cutting tools, including PCD (polycrystalline diamond) and carbide cutting tools for use in machining wood, laminates, MDF, plywood, and composite materials
• Manage and grow customer relationships across a wide spectrum of users including furniture manufacturers, sawmills, millwork contractors, custom cabinetry shops, carpenters, wood product fabricators, and aerospace composite manufacturers
• Provide hands-on technical sales support for tools used in CNC routers, panel saws, edgebanders, and other automated woodworking and composite machining systems
• Recommend tooling strategies to improve edge quality, extend tool life, and increase machining efficiency
• Prospect new business within both the woodworking trades and the aerospace composite machining sector, particularly where abrasive materials require high-performance tooling
• Travel 25%–50% to visit customers, conduct tooling assessments, attend trade shows, and maintain a strong presence in the field

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree required, preferably in business, engineering, or a technical discipline
• 10+ years of experience in cutting tools sales, with expertise in tooling for wood, composites, and aerospace manufacturing
• Strong knowledge of carbide tooling and diamond tooling for machining wood, engineered panels, and abrasive composite materials
• Demonstrated experience working with furniture producers, sawmill operators, custom woodworkers, architectural millwork firms, and composite fabricators in the aerospace industry
• Familiarity with machining carbon fiber, fiberglass, thermoplastic composites, and other aerospace-grade materials
• Excellent communication, consultative selling, and relationship-building skills
• Self-motivated, well-organized, and capable of thriving in a remote, travel-intensive role
• Bonus: 25% annual performance-based bonus
• Full benefits package including health, dental, and 401(k)
• Company-provided tools: laptop, phone, and travel expense coverage

This is a high-impact opportunity for a seasoned cutting tools sales professional to lead territory growth in both traditional woodworking markets and the evolving aerospace composites machining industry. Join a team dedicated to helping customers improve productivity, surface finish, and tool longevity with the latest in carbide and diamond tooling technology.
