Flooring Installation Expert & Trainer

Job Description

Job Description

Tarkett is looking for a Flooring Installation Expert and Trainer to join our talented team in Texas. You'll be the technical expert customers trust on-site, the trainer who certifies the next generation of installers, and the go-to problem solver when a flooring installation doesn't go as planned - with the freedom of a job that's never (seldom) behind a desk. You'll investigate claims, install and demo premium soft-surface products (POWERBOND, broadloom, carpet tile) and run hands-on certification exams for installers across the country. If you like variety, autonomy, and being the expert in the room, this position is for you.

What this role will do:

• Solve real problems - by phone, email, and in person, for customers across product, installation, site conditions, and maintenance.
• Investigate claims in the field - across the U.S. and Canada, documenting findings with photos, samples, and clear reports within 48 hours.
• Install and demo - soft-surface products at training sessions, trade shows, mock-ups, and field tests.
• Run certification training - teach, test, and certify installers in POWERBOND and broadloom techniques.
• Support the sales team - traveling with Account Executives on customer visits, providing technical credibility on sales calls (50-75% of your time).

Experience & Skills:

• Hands-on flooring installation experience- POWERBOND, woven/tufted broadloom, required
• Comfort troubleshooting in the field and explaining technical issues to non-technical people
• Confidence teaching and presenting to a room - you'll be running exams, not just installs
• Intermediate MS Office skills;
• Exceptional communication skills; bilingual a plus, not required
• A valid driver's license and genuine willingness to be on the road/in the air regularly

What We Offer

• A commitment that Safety is #1.
• Competitive benefits, pay, and retirement plan options.
• Career growth, stability, and flexible work arrangements.
