Aplin has partnered with our client to hire a high-performing Business Development Representative to drive growth across one of the most active oil & gas production regions in North America. Their technology enhances production solutions for upstream operations, with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and long-term cost savings.
This is a hunter role—focused on identifying, pursuing, and winning new business across the oil & gas sector, with particular emphasis on production and field operations.
You will sell production optimization solutions that help producers improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and optimize processes.
Backed by a strong internal technical team (engineers and technologists), you will act as a trusted advisor to field personnel, operations teams, engineers, and corporate decision-makers.
While some existing accounts are provided, your primary focus is on generating new business and expanding market presence throughout the territory.
Success requires solid understanding of oil & gas production environments, field processes, and the operational challenges producers face daily. Candidates with direct experience in upstream production, midstream facilities, or field operations will be best positioned to succeed.
