About Us:
At Cooper Equipment Rentals, a new division of Cooper Tacia General Contracting, we’re redefining what it means to rent equipment. Backed by decades of experience in construction and powered by a passion for service, we provide dependable tools and trusted support for every job. Whether it’s a single-day rental or a long-term project, we help customers work safer, faster, and better — because their success is what drives ours.

- Develop and execute territory sales plans to achieve goals and expand market share.

- Contribute ideas and initiative as we build a new, fast-growing division.
