This role focuses on new business development with construction companies, manufacturing facilities, trucking fleets, agricultural operations, and field-based service companies across the Lexington region, where unplanned equipment downtime is costly, disruptive, and impacts productivity.
Key Responsibilities
Prospect, qualify, and close new business with companies in construction, aggregate/quarry operations, logistics/trucking, manufacturing, municipal services, agriculture, and equipment rental—key industries across the Lexington and Central Kentucky market.
Promote PIRTEK’s 24/7/365 mobile on-site hose service with 1-hour ETA, emphasizing fast response times that minimize downtime for equipment vital to Lexington’s rapidly growing construction and industrial sectors.
Conduct regular on-site visits, yard walk-throughs, and facility tours to identify hydraulic and industrial hose usage and uncover preventative maintenance and emergency service opportunities.
Present PIRTEK’s full product offering, including:
Medium to ultra-high-pressure hydraulic hoses
Industrial hoses for aggregate, chemical, air, and material handling

Access to one of the industry’s most extensive adapter and fitting catalogs
Educate customers on preventative maintenance programs that reduce catastrophic hose failures, spills, environmental risks, and unplanned downtime.
Collaborate with operations and mobile service technicians to ensure a seamless end-to-end customer experience—from quoting to on-site service completion.
Track and report on sales pipeline activity, call frequency, quotes, and closed business within your assigned Lexington territory.
Represent PIRTEK at local safety meetings, industry events, fleet expos, construction sites, etc. to build brand awareness and credibility across Central Kentucky.
