Technical Sales Manager – Poultry & Livestock Equipment; Mitchell

FDI Poultry Equipment is a Canadian poultry equipment manufacturer based in Mitchell, Ontario. We design, manufacture, and support practical equipment systems for poultry producers, including layer and pullet housing, feeding systems, egg collection, manure handling, floor feeding, service parts, and custom retrofit solutions.

FDI is under current ownership and entering a growth phase. We are looking for a senior, hands‑on sales leader to help rebuild and grow our presence across Canada and the United States.

This is not a desk‑based sales job. We need someone who is comfortable visiting farms, walking barns, meeting producers, working with dealers, understanding equipment needs, and helping customers make practical decisions about poultry housing, feeding, egg handling, manure handling, service, parts, and retrofit projects.

The ideal candidate will have experience selling into agriculture, livestock, farm equipment, barn systems, poultry, dairy, swine, feed systems, ventilation, manure handling, ag construction, or other technical equipment markets.

Direct poultry equipment experience is a major asset, but not required for the right technical sales professional.
