EAI is launching a dedicated Grain Solutions division and is seeking a Grain Solutions Technical Sales role to lead the charge. This is a high-visibility, entrepreneurial role reporting directly to the Co-President, responsible for building EAI’s presence in the grain handling market – developing customer relationships, driving new business, and working alongside EAI’s development and controls teams to shape a grain-specific product offering. On top of a competitive base salary, this position includes performance-based bonuses and a comprehensive benefits package.

 

Job Responsibilities:

• Serve as the grain automation and software technical expert for regional account managers by helping scope opportunities, define customer needs, and develop solutions for co-operatives, grain elevators, and ag facilities across the Midwest.

• Represent EAI Grain Solutions at industry events, trade shows, and association meetings including GEAPS and regional co-op conferences

• Translate real-world grain facility needs and operator pain points into clear product requirements for EAI’s development team — serving as the internal voice of the grain customer

• Participate actively in product scoping, testing, and validation sessions to ensure grain-specific functionality meets customer expectations

• Support beta customer engagements, providing on-site presence and feedback loops between customers and the development team

• Stay current on competitive offerings and industry trends to inform EAI’s product strategy and market positioning

• Deliver a 90-day market assessment and pipeline report to EAI leadership, mapping and prioritizing the top target accounts in the Midwest

• Additional duties and roles as needed

 

Job Requirements:

• At least 5 years of experience in the grain industry, with a background in grain operations, software systems, or related technology-enabled facility processes.

• Strong working knowledge of grain facility workflows and systems, including truck receiving, bulk weighers, facility controls, accounting integrations, and grain contracts.

• Strong technical aptitude with genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for what automation and software technology can do for grain operations — familiarity with PLC-based controls or scale house software is a plus.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills — equally comfortable presenting to a co-op board and walking a grain facility floor

• Self-directed and entrepreneurial — able to operate with autonomy and build structure in an early-stage division environment

• Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture, Agribusiness, Agricultural Systems Technology, or a related field preferred — equivalent experience will be considered

• Willingness to travel approximately 25% of the time in the startup phase, reducing to approximately 15% as the division matures.

• A valid U.S. driver's license and passport (or be able to obtain one).

• Must be able to travel to Canada.

• Must be able to climb ladders, grain legs, or similar and tolerate dusty work environments.

• Must be able to lift up to fifty (50) pounds unassisted and sit, stand, bend, kneel, twist, crawl, or squat several times a day.

 

This position will require travel (approximately 25% in the startup phase) to customer sites and co-operative facilities across the Midwest. This role can be based anywhere in the Midwest, with required regular travel to EAI’s Welcome, MN headquarters (southern MN).

 

Salary Range: $95,000 – $130,000 per year, commensurate with experience, plus performance bonuses tied to division milestones and revenue performance. 

On-Target Earning Range: $100,000 — $150,000 per year, depending on experience and performance.
