Job Description

Driveway Design has been in the Twin Cities since 1977. Not because we undercut every competitor on price. We've survived four recessions because we ask better questions than everyone else, then actually build what the customer didn't know they could have. A couple of calls about a small driveway extension — you notice the garbage cans crammed in the garage, ask one question, and an hour later, you've redesigned the whole project. Bigger contract, happier customer, better commission check.

We're looking for someone who already thinks this way. If that's you, keep reading.

COMPENSATION

Salary plus bonuses, Company car + gas card (season), company phone, 50% of health insurance premiums covered.

Salary and bonuses are discussed further at the initial interview.

Realistic total for a full season: $75,000–$115,000.

$75,000 - $115,000 yearly

• Run estimate visits across the Twin Cities metro. Read the property — drainage, layout, what the customer didn't think to mention — and design a solution that's better than what they called about.
• Present the proposal at the customer's home and close it. Walk through scope and price, handle objections, leave with a signed contract when you can.
• Complete all job documentation for the crew. Job sheets must contain everything needed for installation — nothing left for a follow-up call.
• Own the customer relationship from signed contract through final payment. Check-in calls while the job runs. Payment collected at completion. Referral asked at the end.
• Log all customer communications, estimate photos, and follow-up notes in Zoho the day of the visit.
• Maintain the company vehicle and gas card assigned to this role.
• Return all customer calls within 24 hours.

Required:

• Solid knowledge of residential asphalt and/or exterior flatwork concrete.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
• Available Monday through Saturday, including evenings.
• U.S. work authorization.
• Ability to pass a background check.

You do NOT need:

• Prior experience in driveway sales, specifically.
• Experience with all Driveway Design products — we train on proprietary work.
• A college degree.

Driveway Design has operated in the Twin Cities metro for over 50 years. We do asphalt and concrete work that most contractors in this market won't take on — custom drainage, textured asphalt, commercial lots where the grade is wrong, and the previous contractor didn't fix it. Four recessions. Still here. The work holds up because the materials go in right and the problems get actually fixed, not paved over.

Dave stayed for 25 years. Vern kept coming back. That's not luck — Randy and Lanet keep people whole when things slow down. When there isn't enough work to fill the week, they find the hours. If you do the work and show up, you're part of that build.
