About the role

Fahrenheit Advisors is searching for an Outdoor Living Sales & Design Representative at Glen Allen Grounds' Rockville, VA location. Glen Allen Grounds specializes in high-end hardscape, landscape, and outdoor lighting projects in the Richmond region, known for its collaborative, detail-focused approach and strong client relationships.

Responsibilities

• Design and technical execution: Design custom hardscape, landscape, and outdoor lighting projects tailored to each client's property, goals, and preferences.

Participate in site visits before project start to confirm layout and plan logistics. Be on site on Day 1 of newly sold projects to assist with layout and answer questions.

Maintain consistent on-site involvement during project kickoff and layout phases.
