About Rust Automation & Controls
Founded in 1976 and run from West Jordan, Utah, Rust is both the factory rep and the stocking distributor for a long card of instrument and valve makers, so its sellers sell flow, level, pressure and temperature measurement, control valves and actuators to plant engineers, integrators and buyers in oil and gas, water and wastewater, power, mining, food and beverage and life sciences. The team runs in pairs: outside sales engineers and business development managers own a territory they must live in, walk plants and grow revenue and gross margin, while inside sales builds the quotes, sizes products and moves orders for them. The 7 sales openings on its board on 2 Nov 2026 cover that whole ladder: an entry inside sales seat with paid training, an experienced inside rep, an outside sales engineer for the North Bay (Martinez, Fairfield, Napa), a valves business development manager in Denver, a service business development manager selling calibration and lifecycle work across California, Utah and Colorado, and two summer 2027 internships, one inside and one riding along with the outside team. All 7 are in the US, with West Jordan named on four of them.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
