The Opportunity
We are hiring an Entry-Level Sales Representative to join our sales team and grow with us. This is a real career opportunity — not a dead-end door-knocking role. You will work alongside experienced estimators and project managers, learn the asphalt and pavement industry from the ground up, and develop into a full Sales Estimator/Project Manager over time.
You will be supported by company-provided leads and a mentored ramp into the business, but this role also requires you to develop your own pipeline. If you are hungry, organized, and willing to put in the field time, the earning potential here is substantial.
What You Will Do
- Follow up on and close company-provided leads for paving, sealcoating, repair, and related services
- Prospect and generate your own leads through networking, site visits, referrals, and cold outreach
- Meet with customers at their sites to assess project needs and present proposals
- Learn to read and scope work accurately using company standards and estimating tools
- Assist with or lead bid preparation, RFI responses, and proposal documentation under guidance
- Serve as the point of contact for clients from sale through project handoff and completion
- Coordinate with operations on scheduling, scope, and project expectations
- Track budgets, document change events, and support the change order process
- Conduct pre-site visits on larger or more complex projects
- Maintain accurate records of bids, client communication, and job progress
- Represent Asphalt Protectors professionally in the field and with all customer interactions
Who We Are Looking For
- Self-motivated and hungry — someone who wants to earn, not just show up
- Strong communicator with people skills and a professional presence
- Organized, detail-oriented, and reliable with follow-through
- Willing to be in the field regularly — this is not an office-only role
- Proficient with Excel, Word, and Outlook
- Construction, paving, or trades experience is a plus but not required — we will train the right person
- Valid driver's license required
What We Offer
- Hourly base pay plus commission on all closed jobs
- Commission structure matches our experienced sales team — your earning ceiling grows with your production
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and holiday pay
- Company-provided truck, fuel card, and cell phone
- Employee Assistance Program
- Mentored ramp into full Sales Estimator/Project Manager role
- A team that invests in people who invest in themselves
