Our team delivers solutions across five core verticals: Historians, SCADA, Ignition, Analytics, and Cyber. We’re at the forefront of forward-facing technologies including IIoT, MQTT-based architectures, edge computing, and cloud analytics — helping our clients bridge legacy systems with modern, scalable platforms.

We’re hiring a Sales Specialist to generate new business and expand Streamline’s footprint across oil & gas and industrial markets. You’ll be responsible for finding and developing new opportunities, getting in front of the right people, and bringing our technical team to the table when it counts.

• Develop proposals and position our integration capabilities against product-only competitors.
• Focus on new logos and expanding into new verticals.
• Maintain CRM discipline and accurate forecasting.

• Demonstrated ability to hunt and build pipeline from scratch.
• Experience navigating complex B2B sales with multiple stakeholders.
• Existing relationships in Western Canadian or Texas energy markets are a strong advantage.
• Technical competency in OT solutions is preferred but not required — you’ll have deep technical support from our engineering team.
• Experience working with solutions such as Ignition, AVEVA PI, AVEVA Enterprise SCADA, Canary, Snowflake, or similar platforms is preferred.
• The preferred position for this role is Calgary, AB but Edmonton, AB and Houston, Texas will be considered.
