Job Description

Job Type: Full Time (Exempt)

Location: Novi, MI

Reports to: Vice President of Sales

Overview:

Brooks Utility Products is one of America's most established electric utility manufacturers, uniting EJ Brooks & Company, Meter Devices Company, and Ekstrom Industries into the most comprehensive product line portfolio in the industry. We are the leading utility manufacturer of seals, locking equipment, adapters, meter sockets, meter-base testing equipment, test switches, and utility enclosures — all engineered around utility safety, security, and productivity.

The industry is entering a generational build cycle. Grid hardening and resiliency investment, an accelerating AMI upgrade wave, and unprecedented load growth from data centers, electrification, and reshored manufacturing are driving demand straight through our core product lines — while rising energy theft and tightening grid-security mandates put our sealing and locking equipment front and center. This is the electric super cycle, and Brooks sits at the heart of it.

Brooks Utility Products is seeking a highly motivated, self-sufficient District Sales Manager to oversee sales, strategy, and customer relationships within the Northeastern US states of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
