Careers

Work with people who know their trade.

Rust has been family-owned since 1976, and a lot of the people here have built whole careers with us. We hire for curiosity and follow-through, then invest in the technical depth that makes the difference on a plant floor.

Open positions

Every current opening is on our job board.

Applications go through it too, so nothing gets lost in an inbox. If nothing fits today, send us your resume anyway. We'd rather know you exist before we have the opening.

What it's like here.

We're a manufacturers' representative and distributor, which means the work is technical and the relationships are long. Our sales engineers size and select equipment, walk plants, solve application problems, and stand behind what they specify. Nobody here is reading from a script.

It's a growing company with real teams behind each function (inside and outside sales engineering, projects, service, and customer service) rather than everyone doing a bit of everything. That means you get to go deep on something.
