About The Position

Key Responsibilities: Call on existing and new customers to analyze their insulation needs and provide solutions that maximize energy efficiency, with the goal of building strong, long-term relationships. Develop and provide professional, effective written proposals to customers, ensuring acceptable profit margins by physically measuring work on-site or by reading and interpreting blueprints and construction documents to develop accurate estimates. Occasionally, present proposals to customers. Follow up on all estimates through verbal or written correspondence. Order materials, monitor lead times, and track status to avoid project delays. Develop a Job Hazard Assessment (JHA) for every job, communicate it to all staff on-site, and file it in the job folder. Manage sold projects by monitoring job progress to ensure safety, quality, and productivity goals are achieved. Ensure all jobs run efficiently and profitably with the appropriate staff, materials, and equipment by applying strong estimating and project planning skills, using construction management (CM) programs. Perform duties in all weather conditions and during off-shift hours, weekends, and holidays as required to meet customer needs. Generate and provide reports regarding calls, quotes, and follow-up status; investigate and resolve anomalies in gross margin reports; and participate in branch performance reviews. Develop and retain a team of skilled mechanical insulation professionals. Invoice customers in a timely manner and perform collections as needed. Engage in networking activities such as association memberships, trade shows, seminars, conventions, customer entertainment, and other relationship-building events (may involve days, nights, and/or weekends). Act in the best interest of the company as a whole, supporting efforts toward overall corporate success—not just branch success. Organize files and manage time efficiently. Assume roles of greater responsibility as required to support company objectives.
