Sales Representative - General Contractor

Built for People Who Build Markets

Own Your Pipeline, Drive Your Income.

Are you a true hunter who knows how to get in the door before the bid list is even drawn up? We are looking for a relentless GC Sales Representative to own a book of business within the general contractor and construction channel selling dock and door solutions on new construction and retrofit projects. In this role, you aren't just responding to bids; you are shaping specifications, becoming the preferred vendor of record, and building a sustained pipeline of project-based revenue with uncapped commission potential. If you thrive in long-cycle, relationship-driven sales and compete with an underdog's grit and a professional's discipline this role is built for you.

The Mission

• Channel Prospecting: Conduct proactive outreach to general contractors, construction managers, developers, and subcontractors to identify active and pre-construction project opportunities within your assigned territory.
• Bid & Specification Management: Engage early in the project lifecycle to influence specifications, submit accurate and competitive project bids, and position DuraServ as the preferred dock and door solutions provider.
• Project Pipeline Ownership: Maintain a disciplined, forward-looking pipeline of new construction and retrofit opportunities using CRM tools tracking bid status, decision timelines, and competitive position on every active project.
• Cross-Channel Collaboration: Partner with End User Sales Representatives and Service Technicians to ensure seamless project handoffs, identify service contract opportunities post-installation, and maximize total account revenue.
• Relationship Development: Build and sustain trusted relationships with GC procurement leads, project managers, estimators, and ownership groups to earn preferred vendor status on future work.
• Proposal & Quote Management: Prepare technically accurate, professionally presented project proposals and quotes that reflect scope, specifications, and site requirements with zero margin for error.
• Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of project activity in the local construction market tracking permits, planned developments, and competitor positioning to ensure DuraServ is engaged before the competition.
• Sales Cycle Ownership: Manage the full sales process from initial bid invitation through contract award, coordinating internal resources to ensure delivery commitments are met and client expectations are exceeded.

Who You Are

The Hunter Mentality: A relentless drive to identify and pursue new construction opportunities without dependence on inbound leads or reactive bid lists.

Persuasive Communication: Skill in presenting ROI-driven solutions to GC decision-makers, project owners, and estimators at all levels of an organization.

Construction Market Knowledge: Working knowledge of the commercial and industrial construction bidding process, project phases, and GC/subcontractor channel dynamics.

Technical Aptitude: Ability to read construction documents, interpret project specifications, and translate scope requirements into accurate dock and door solutions.

Pipeline Discipline: Skill in managing a high-volume, long-cycle sales pipeline with consistent CRM accuracy, bid tracking, and disciplined follow-through on every active opportunity.

Emotional Intelligence: Ability to build credibility and rapport quickly in a relationship-driven, competitive channel environment where long-term trust drives repeat business.

What's In It For You

We don't believe in capping the earnings of people who perform. If you build the pipeline, you earn accordingly. Period.

• Uncapped Earning Potential: Performance-based pay with no income ceiling.
• Autonomy & Trust: Freedom from micromanagement, backed by leadership that respects your expertise.
