Job Description

The Opportunity

TekModo is actively seeking experienced, self-motivated Independent Manufacturers’ Representatives to develop and manage regional sales territories across the United States. This is a pure commission-based, 1099 independent contractor relationship — ideal for reps who already carry complementary industrial, plastics, or materials product lines and are looking to add a high-value, differentiated HDPE and ABS sheet lines to their portfolio.

As TekModo’s sales footprint expands nationally, we are looking for reps with established relationships who can hit the ground running. There is no requirement to exclusively represent TekModo — we welcome reps who carry up to three non-competing, complementary lines. Reps carrying more than three active lines may be asked to confirm adequate focus and activity levels for TekModo as outlined in the representative agreement.

You Are a Strong Fit If You:

• Have an established book of business in marine, cargo, transportation, food processing, railroad, or industrial distribution markets.
• Are currently calling on OEM manufacturers, fabricators, distributors, or industrial end-users who purchase or specify plastic sheet, liner, or composite materials.
• Carry up to three complementary, non-competing product lines (e.g., composite panels, rubber, gasket, foam, fiberglass, metal, or other industrial materials). Lines that directly compete with HDPE sheet products are not permitted.
• Have experience selling technical or engineered material products — you are comfortable discussing specifications, test data, and application engineering.
• Operate as an independent manufacturers’ representative (1099) and are registered with MANA or a recognized rep association.
• Are self-directed, relationship-focused, and capable of managing a regional territory with minimal administrative overhead.

Experience & Qualifications:

• Minimum 3–5 years of industrial, plastics, composites, or materials sales experience preferred.
• Demonstrated success selling into one or more of TekModo’s core end markets.
• Ability to identify, qualify, and develop new accounts while growing existing relationships.
• Comfortable with technical data sheets, ASTM test standards, and application-level product discussions.
• Familiarity with sustainability selling (LEED, PCR content, carbon footprint) is a plus but not required.
