This is a new position for this company. This person will have a team of three salespeople, a sales manager, two marketing people, five admin people and thirty world-wide distributors. International experience is required. A degree is a plus, and that degree can be in engineering, science or business. However, experience is most important. South American experience is a plus. Must have experience in oil and gas drilling and explorations services; must have sales and sales management experience; and must have trade show and marketing experience. Technical engineering or operations experience is a plus, and Spanish is a plus. This person and their team will be selling and marketing drilling fluids, completion fluids and oil well cements.  Persons with direct work experience in a drilling environment will be considered. Upstream oil and gas is a plus, but also people with a downstream background will be considered.  Company prefers a “Service Company” background. The ideal candidate will have between 10 and 20 years experience. Customer service and relationship building is key to the job; cold calling will be a small percentage. Company likes to build new customers from the relationships it builds in the industry.
