Rust Automation & Controls is a family-owned company that's been solving tough industrial problems since 1976. From our West Jordan, UT headquarters we support customers across the western half of the country with instrumentation, valves, and controls. We're proud of a friendly, low-ego team where people actually stick around — and we're growing.
Position Overview
This is a full-time, in office role in our Sales Department, reporting to our Vice-President of Sales.

The work varies from week to week based on the Sales Team’s needs and the needs of the business, ranging from standing reporting cycles to one-off projects and administrative support.
