Unlike traditional OEMs, Endera controls the full product lifecycle — from chassis and body manufacturing to software, service, and fleet support — all from our facility in Ottawa, Ohio. We build production-ready, route-proven vehicles designed for the operators who can’t afford downtime: school districts, transit agencies, municipalities, and private fleet operators. We’re growing fast — and we’re building a sales organization to match. This is a rare opportunity to get in early with a manufacturer that has the product, the backing, and the infrastructure to become the dominant name in electric and ICE bus sales. THE OPPORTUNITY   This role is designed for an experienced bus industry professional with an entrepreneurial mindset — someone who thinks like an owner, not just a rep. You know the territory, you own your relationships, and you’re ready for a high-autonomy position where your effort directly determines your outcome. You’ll drive new business and manage the states of Michigan and Wisconsin. One of the most active school bus and transit markets in the country, with the freedom to expand the business in the area as you see fit. Beyond the role itself, this position carries a meaningful long-term path built for entrepreneurial thinkers: top performers who have built market presence and demonstrate operational capability will be prioritized as potential candidates. We are actively expanding our dealer network and are recruiting top-notch sales professionals who know the product, the customers, and the territory. If you’ve got the drive to build something of your own, backed by a real manufacturer with real products, apply now.
