Job description

KEYENCE CANADA Company Overview

• Founded in Japan in 1974, KEYENCE Corporation has grown into a global leader in industrial automation technology — 250 offices, 46 countries, $7.06 billion USD in annual sales, and over 12,261 employees worldwide.

• KEYENCE Canada Inc. launched in 2004 and now operates four offices — Mississauga, Montreal, Windsor, and Burnaby — and we're growing fast.

• We lead by innovating. Our edge is our direct sales force: highly trained, consultative, and relentless about solving our customers' toughest problems.

The Opportunity for You

• This is your shot to learn and master consultative, application-based sales — real problem-solving, not scripted pitches. Our structured training and mentoring program is built to take you from day one to expert.

• Expect a fast pace and high standards. You'll spend about two days a week in a professional, energetic office — and the rest out in the field, in front of manufacturers and clients, solving problems face to face.

• You'll become the trusted product specialist customers turn to for their toughest quality control, reliability, and R&D challenges. KEYENCE's products are highly technical —But don’t worry we'll train you to be the expert.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Provide technical consultation and support to customers, helping them solve real-world applications with KEYENCE products across a wide range of industries.

• Travel to customer sites three days a week, selling into a diverse mix of manufacturing and related industries.

• Advise on and promote the right products and services for each customer's specific application — and back it up with expertise they can trust.

Requirements and Qualifications

· Bachelor’s degree

· Excellent oral and written communication skills

· Active listening skills and ability to react customer questions and requests.

• Goal-oriented and hard-working, with a genuine drive to make a measurable impact on KEYENCE Canada's success.

• Hungry to grow — through intensive training, hands-on mentorship, and a proactive, process-driven sales approach.

• Willing to travel 60% of the time, including occasional overnight trips.

• Valid driver's license and access to your own vehicle.

Why Work for KEYENCE

• Ranked on Forbes' World's Top 100 “Most Innovative Companies” list — 8 years running.

• We hire entry-level only and invest in your growth from day one, building your sales career from the ground up.

• Competitive compensation.

• Health coverage for you and your family — medical, dental, and vision.

• 2 weeks of starting vacation and 8 paid personal days.

• Paid shutdown over the winter holidays.

• Paid 3-month training period plus an ongoing professional development program.

• Fully paid travel expenses.

• Group RRSP plan after 6 months with KEYENCE.

• Real work-life balance with a hybrid way of working.

Supplementary Information

Position requires the ability to lift and carry 30-90lbs of demonstration equipment in and out of vehicles, and through customer facilities with or without reasonable onsite accommodation(s).
