• Drive Consultative Sales: Work with customers to understand operational challenges, demonstrate value, and recommend solutions that improve performance and cost efficiency.
• Lead the Branch: Oversee branch financial performance, monitor profitability and margins, manage inventory and receivables, and lead the branch team.
• Collaborate Across the Business: Partner with the shop supervisor and corporate operations to align customer demand with branch capacity and deliver strong customer service.

Compensation & Benefits

• $100,000–$130,000 in total annual compensation, including base salary and bonus.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• HRA, FSA, company-paid life insurance, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability, and supplemental insurance options.
• 401(k) with a 4% company match when contributing 5%.
