• Proactively engage specifying architects and design professionals during the schematic design (SD) and design development (DD) phases to integrate Gaco into baseline project specifications.

Technical Support & Design Consultation

• Serve as the trusted technical resource for the design community, providing expert guidance on detail drawings, custom specification writing, and submittal reviews.
• Resolve complex architectural queries to ensure seamless integration of Gaco systems into project construction documents.

Industry Engagement & Networking

• Maintain an active, visible presence in key industry associations, including the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and the International Building Performance Institute (IIBEC).
• Attend, network at, and present during regional and national trade shows, symposiums, and industry roundtables.
• Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.

Experience: 3–5+ years of experience in architectural sales, technical specification consulting, or building envelope product representation.

Industry Credentials: CDT® (Construction Documents Technologist), CCPR™ (Certified Construction Product Representative), or AIA/AIA-affiliated certifications are strongly preferred.
Tools & Software: Proficiency with Dodge Data/ConstructConnect, CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce), AutoCAD/BIM/Revit (viewing/editing details), and Microsoft Office Suite.
Communication & Presentation: Exceptional public speaking and presentation skills; comfortable presenting to large audiences and senior design principals.
