• Collaborate with estimating, operations, and project management teams on accurate proposals and service delivery
• Review large-scale opportunities ($1M+) with senior leadership; collaborate with Branch and Enhancement Manager on opportunities up to $1M
• Stay current on local market conditions, competitor activity, and industry trends
• Represent the company at trade associations, networking events, and community engagements
• Maintain accurate pipeline records and sales activity in Salesforce CRM
• Work with branch and senior leadership to set annual sales goals, budgets, and strategy

Requirements:

• Project management or construction industry background strongly preferred
• Strong sales, negotiation, and presentation skills with a track record of closing commercial contracts
