Sales Representative — Mineral Exploration

By the numbers

Regional Location

Full-time Type

The demand behind this segment is real — critical minerals, electrification, and a domestic supply chain that has to be found before it can be mined. We're hiring a Sales Representative to build that market and own it.

Republic Drill Co. was forged from Venture Drilling Supply — built over four decades by the McCarthy family, who understood that this industry runs on grit, not glory. Today we're the nation's largest water well, mining, and geothermal drilling distributor, running four locations from Texas to Connecticut, with 1,300+ customers and a crew that has logged 150+ combined years in the field.

Mineral exploration is where we're pressing next. Comacchio and Perforator iron, nationwide sales, and a parts and service network built to keep programs running in places most suppliers won't drive to. The demand behind this segment is real — critical minerals, electrification, and a domestic supply chain that has to be found before it can be mined.

We're hiring a Sales Representative to build that market and own it. This is a standing seat, not a stopgap.

You are the primary interface to the Republic in your territory. To the customer, you are the brand — what you promise is what we've promised, and how you carry yourself is how we're seen.

Your charge is to cultivate the mineral exploration market and the opportunities inside it: identify where the drilling is happening and where it's about to happen, get in front of the contractors and operators doing it, and put Republic iron and consumables on those programs. You're not covering an established book. You're building one, against a number you helped set.

This role sells equipment and consumables — not service, and not parts. Every territory has a Service Manager who owns building and maintaining the service and parts business.

What you do is work hand in hand with that Service Manager to grow service sales in your region. Every rig you sell is service revenue waiting to happen, and in exploration, where a down rig burns a day-rate and a program schedule, service is an easier sell than most contractors realize. You know which fleets are aging, which crews are running hard, and who's overdue.

Open those doors, make the introduction, and back your Service Manager in front of the customer. Their number and yours come from the same relationship.

Map and work the segment: exploration drilling contractors, junior and major miners, aggregate and industrial minerals operators, and the consultancies that steer their programs. Know who holds the claims, who's raised capital, and who's mobilizing.

Sell ahead of the drill program. Exploration buying follows the money and the season. Track financings, permitting, and mob schedules so we're spec'd in before the RFQ goes out, not after.

Perform customer need evaluations on a regular cadence.

Run a bi-annual regional market analysis: where programs are moving, what contractors need that we don't offer yet, and where the gap is worth closing.

Be where the work is.

Equipment. Core, exploration rigs and the support equipment behind them — Comacchio and Perforator, nationwide.

Consumables. Rods, bits, core barrels, hammers, and drilling fluids — the tooling that gets consumed making hole. Rigs open the account; consumables are where it compounds, and in exploration that stream is measured in meters drilled. Grow it deliberately.

Consult on the program, not just the purchase. Depth, core size, ground conditions, access and mobility, crew skill, and cycle time all drive the right configuration. We don't sell customers what we have. We sell them what they need. And we have teams to support you in this process.
