Account Executive:This is where you come in We’re looking for a Business Development–driven Account Executive with a strong background in mechanical/HVAC project sales who thrives on building something of their own. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to develop and grow your own customer portfolio, leveraging MacMiller’s strong brand reputation and full-service capabilities to open doors and create long-term relationships. You won’t be starting from zero — you’ll step into a market with warm opportunities and internal connections through other MacMiller departments. Many of these leads come from our existing service, controls, and construction teams, where we already have strong relationships and active customers. It will take cultivation and follow-through to convert these into lasting partnerships, but for someone motivated to build their portfolio, this role offers a rare balance of warm leads, autonomy, and growth potential. This position is ideal for someone who loves hunting for new opportunities, creating value for customers, and seeing projects through from concept to completion. In our Service Special Projects Department, you’ll handle projects that require ongoing HVAC maintenance contracts or quick-turnaround tenant improvements — while continuing to grow your personal book of business year after year. In return for your hard work and success in achieving ambitious goals, you’ll be rewarded with ownership, growth opportunities, and the freedom to build your business the right way. Top 3 things to deliver in your first year to be a hero: Results – Build and grow your own customer portfolio by developing strong relationships and pursuing retrofit and tenant improvement opportunities. Generate approximately $1.5M–$2.5M in sold project revenue in your first year, depending on experience and market activity. Establish a qualified pipeline that positions you for $4M+ in annual revenue as you continue to grow in year two and beyond. Collaborate closely with estimating, engineering, and operations teams to deliver high-value proposals and maintain strong close ratios. Partnership – Build strong, lasting partnerships with our customers and anticipate their needs before they ask.
