Outsite Sales Estimator

Outside Sales Estimator

If you're the kind of person who sees a customer problem and genuinely wants to solve it not just close it and move on keep reading.

This role is not just sales. It's ownership. You'll build relationships & trust, identify real customer problems, create lasting solutions, and see projects through from first conversation to final invoice. You'll do this alongside our technicians and office team, not around them.

This is technical/mechanical sales. You'll be walking facilities, diagnosing mechanical and electrical problems with doors, docks, and access systems some of them quite complex and turning what you find into a clear, accurate quote and solution recommendation. You don't need to be a technician, but you need to think like one.

If you have a mechanical mind and a heart for people, that is the foundation.

Rinderle Door Company has served Southeastern Wisconsin for over 40 years. We've built our reputation by doing what's right and being the team customers trust when it matters.

What You'll Do

• Build and manage relationships with facilities/plant managers, maintenance teams, buildings and grounds managers and business owners
• Walk facilities, diagnose mechanical and electrical issues, and build accurate quotes from what you find in the field (this is done with a lot of listening)

• Create clear scopes of work and accurate estimates
• Manage projects from sale through completion
