What is the Opportunity?

Joining Ovivo means becoming part of a global team of innovative and passionate professionals dedicated to preserving water - our planet's most critical resource.

The Sales Manager will drive achievement of strategic business objectives through the development of new opportunities and expansion of existing accounts, with a primary focus on modular treatment systems and components in Canada. This role concentrates on the industrial water and wastewater treatment sectors, including work camp and light industrial applications in mining, power generation, oil & gas, pulp & paper, and remote locations.

The successful candidate will build and maintain strong relationships with key clients, qualify and develop leads, and close sales by collaborating effectively with Applications Engineering, Project Management, and Operations. They will monitor market activity and trends, provide strategic insights, and adapt approaches to align Ovivo's differentiated offerings with evolving client needs. Expertise in penetration strategies for target accounts and proven success selling water and wastewater treatment equipment - including membrane systems - is essential.

• Contribute to the development of the annual sales budget and manage performance against it
• Conduct all sales and business development activities with integrity, in alignment with Ovivo's core values and corporate policies
