Systems Design Consultant (Sales)

Help customers choose the right HVAC system with confidence Every home is different. Every customer is different. Some customers care most about comfort. Others care about energy efficiency, budget, aesthetics, installation simplicity, long-term reliability, or speed. Many customers are overwhelmed because HVAC is expensive, technical, and unfamiliar. Your job is to help them make sense of the options. As a Systems Design Consultant , you’ll talk with homeowners and contractors, understand their project, use our design tools to build system recommendations, explain the trade-offs clearly, and guide the customer toward the equipment that best fits their needs. This is a customer-facing role for someone who enjoys solving problems, learning technical products, and helping people make good decisions. About Alpine Alpine Home Air Products has helped customers purchase heating and cooling equipment online for more than 20 years. Through our Blueridge brand, we offer one of the broadest mini-split product lines in the market. We are investing heavily in better tools, better customer guidance, and a more thoughtful buying experience. Our goal is simple: help customers understand their choices and feel confident that the system they choose truly fits their home, their priorities, and their budget. What You Will Do You’ll work directly with customers by phone or video to help design heating and cooling systems for their projects. Using our proprietary design software and internal tools, you will: Learn about the customer’s home, layout, project goals, and comfort needs Ask thoughtful questions to understand what matters most to them Help customers compare different system approaches Explain trade-offs between comfort, cost, efficiency, aesthetics, installation complexity, and long-term value Recommend the system option that best fits the customer’s priorities Prepare a clear design summary so the order can be finalized accurately Help customers feel informed, understood, and confident in their decision You do not need to come in as an HVAC expert. We will train you on the products, tools, and design process. What matters most is your ability to learn, think clearly, communicate well, and guide customers through decisions. What Makes This Role Different This is not a “take the order and move on” role. Customers often come to us with uncertainty. They may know they want a mini split, but they don’t know how many zones they need, which type of indoor unit makes sense, whether they should prioritize cost or comfort, or what trade-offs they’re making. Your role is to bring clarity. You Should Be Comfortable Saying Things Like
