Sales Representative - General Contractor

About the Role

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.

Responsibilities

• Conduct proactive outreach to general contractors, construction managers, developers, and subcontractors to identify active and pre-construction project opportunities within your assigned territory.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Build and sustain trusted relationships with GC procurement leads, project managers, estimators, and ownership groups to earn preferred vendor status on future work.
• Prepare technically accurate, professionally presented project proposals and quotes that reflect scope, specifications, and site requirements with zero margin for error.
• 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.
• 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.

Requirements

• High School diploma or equivalent required; Associate or Bachelor's degree preferred.
• 2+ years of B2B outside sales experience with a proven track record in construction sales, building products, or related industrial services.
• Demonstrated experience managing a project-based sales pipeline from bid to close within the general contractor or construction channel.
• CRM proficiency with the ability to manage project pipelines, bid tracking, and activity data using modern sales tools.

Skills

• 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.

Benefits

• Uncapped earning potential with performance-based pay.
• Autonomy and trust with freedom from micromanagement.
• Elite team environment with high-performing technicians.
• Full benefits package, including 401(k) with match.
• Generous PTO, vehicle allowance, and performance incentives.
