Independent Outside Sales Representative

Contractor
Salary: Other
Application Deadline: Aug 24, 2026
Manufacturing

Multiway Control System specializes in Engineering, Designing, System Integration, Control Panel manufacturing and implementing advanced industrial automation and robotics solutions for a wide range of industries and applications.

  • Control Panels (engineered in-house): PLC & HMI panels, motor control centers (MCCs), pump control, lighting distribution, pneumatic control, motor starter panels, and servo motion control — built to UL, CE, and IEC standards.
  • Plant Automation: PLC & HMI programming, SCADA development, recipe management, control network design, and Industrial IoT integration — with deep expertise across Allen-Bradley (Rockwell), Siemens, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, Yaskawa, B&R Automation, Inovance, and ABB.
  • Robotics: Integration of SCARA, 6-axis, collaborative, and delta robots for palletizing, pick-and-place, sorting, and material handling — paired with machine vision for inspection, measurement, and code recognition.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a self-driven Independent Outside Sales Representative to develop new business and grow accounts for our control panel manufacturing and automation controls services. This is a 1099, commission-only role ideal for an established sales professional who already calls on industrial, manufacturing, OEM, and plant-engineering buyers and wants a high-value technical line to sell.

You bring the relationships and the hustle; we deliver the engineering, manufacturing, and project execution that closes the deal and keeps customers coming back.

What You’ll Do

  • Prospect, qualify, and close new business for custom control panels and automation/robotics integration services.
  • Call on manufacturers, OEMs, system integrators, engineering firms, and plant/maintenance decision-makers.
  • Develop and manage a pipeline of opportunities across your territory.
  • Understand customer requirements and coordinate with our engineering team to scope projects and prepare quotes.
  • Build long-term accounts and generate repeat and referral business.
  • Represent Multiway Control System professionally at customer sites, trade shows, and industry events.

What You Bring

  • Proven B2B outside sales experience — ideally in electrical control panels, industrial automation, electrical distribution, MRO, robotics, or capital equipment.
  • An existing book of business or active network of industrial/manufacturing contacts (strongly preferred).
  • Technical aptitude to discuss PLCs, HMIs, motor control, SCADA, and robotics at a working level (deep engineering knowledge not required — our team supports you).
  • Self-motivated, organized, and able to work independently as a 1099 contractor.
  • Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and willingness to travel within your territory.

Compensation & Structure

  • 1099 Independent Contractor — Commission Only.
  • Competitive, uncapped commission based on gross margin structure on closed sales — your earnings scale directly with your results.
  • Set your own schedule and manage your own territory.
  • Full engineering, quoting, and project-execution support from the Multiway Control System team.
  • Marketing materials, line cards, and technical resources provided.

This is an independent contractor position. The representative is responsible for their own taxes, business expenses, and self-employment obligations. Compensation is paid as commission on completed sales per a contractor agreement.
