As a Fortune 500 company, Ecolab prides itself on its dedication to combining technology and expertise to meet the ever-evolving challenges within the food, beverage, and dairy manufacturing sectors. Their solutions not only ensure compliance with government regulations but also promote environmental responsibility through sustainable practices.
The Ecolab Food & Beverage team is at the forefront of this mission, delivering tailored sanitation solutions specifically designed for food, beverage, and dairy production environments. In the role of Account Manager, you will be an integral part of this team, focusing on both sales and technical consultation. This position uniquely blends customer service, technical expertise, and relationship management to develop and implement sanitation plans, troubleshoot operational issues, and optimize processes in collaboration with the clients. The Account Manager will engage with multiple stakeholders in manufacturing plants to better understand their operational objectives and compliance requirements while promoting Ecolab’s innovative products and services.
This role offers a dynamic work environment with significant autonomy, allowing you to plan your own schedule while working inside a 2-hour radius surrounding Omaha or Lincoln, Nebraska. You will have opportunities to grow professionally through a structured training program, access to best-in-class resources, and the potential to advance your career in sales, service, or corporate management paths. Ecolab supports your success by providing a company vehicle for both business and personal use, enabling efficient travel to customer sites.
Core responsibilities include understanding customer needs, preparing compelling sales presentations, advising on sanitation and safety protocols, and ensuring the proper functioning and maintenance of sanitation equipment. With these duties, you will build meaningful relationships with customers, becoming a trusted industry expert who drives improvements in food safety and operational efficiencies. Ecolab’s commitment to innovation and sustainability ensures that your work contributes not only to customer satisfaction but also to broader environmental and public health goals.
The compensation range for this position is $84,300 to $126,400 annually, incorporating base salary and performance-based incentives. Benefits include competitive healthcare packages, paid training programs, and a supportive culture that values initiative and individual achievement. Candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree and at least two years of experience either working within food, beverage, or dairy manufacturing environments or in a related technical sales position. Preferred qualifications include a degree in related sciences, bilingual skills, mechanical aptitude, and experience with clean-in-place (CIP) systems.
