With the development of its new, world class product, the EGR RollTrac, an Electric and Manual Aluminium Roll Cover, the Company has decided to increase its focus on Aftermarket sales and marketing initiatives. In addition to launching the Rolltrac, EGR will also focus on its existing range of ABS Fender Flares.

Consequently, EGR is looking to employ a Vice President of Sales and Marketing to head up the promotion of these products into the Aftermarket with a significant focus also on Direct-to-Consumer sales.

The position requires the successful applicant to be based in Ontario, California. There will be extensive travel required (subject to COVID 19 outbreaks and restrictions). This role will require a person who has had extensive experience in promoting products in the Aftermarket, the jobber network, and digital and social media to achieve results.
