Who We Are

At UE Systems, we believe that every person, regardless of their industry, company size, experience, or budget, should have the tools and support to help their facilities operate more efficiently, reliably, and safely. We do this by providing a portfolio of ultrasound solutions designed to be versatile and simple to use.

Since 1973, we have helped thousands of customers across the world prevent equipment failures, identify energy losses, and return home safe to their families. We are continuing to grow as we build a more disciplined, globally connected operating system to support our customers and our next stage of growth.

About the Role

We are seeking a technically credible, hunter-minded Reliability Sales Manager to rebuild and grow UE Systems’ presence across the Southeast. This person will own the territory, create new pipeline, expand strategic customer relationships, and help maintenance and reliability teams translate ultrasound technology into measurable improvements in uptime, safety, energy efficiency, and asset performance.

This role is ideal for a field-based seller who understands industrial maintenance and reliability, enjoys opening new accounts, and can move comfortably from the plant floor to the executive conference room.

Ideally, this position will be based in the NC-SC-GA-FL area in order to service the Southeast Region.
