Job Description

The Opportunity:

We’re partnering with a high-growth fire protection contractor that is aggressively expanding its new construction division and looking to bring on a top-performing sales professional. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role focused on locking down large-scale commercial projects and building long-term relationships with key players in the construction ecosystem.

**MUST BE WILLING TO RELOCATE**

Why This Role Stands Out:

• $150,000 base salary out of the gate
• Uncapped commission — top performers pushing well into the $200K–$250K+ range
• Backed by strong operations and estimating teams, so you can stay focused on closing
• Established reputation with GCs and developers — you’re not starting from scratch

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Owning the pipeline for new construction fire protection work (sprinkler, alarm, suppression)
• Getting in early with GCs, developers, and engineers to position yourself as the go-to partner
• Driving bids, negotiating contracts, and closing high-value deals
• Turning relationships into repeat business and long-term partnerships

Who They Want:

• A hunter mindset with a track record of winning construction or fire protection work
• Strong network in commercial construction (GCs, subs, developers)
• Someone who knows how to navigate bids, pricing, and project timelines
• Bonus points if you understand fire/life safety systems — but deal-makers come first

Bottom Line:

This is not an order-taking role — it’s for someone who wants to dominate a market, build a serious book of business, and get paid accordingly.
