Design Build Construction Sales

Premier Service • Oak Brook, IL

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

This Design Build Construction Sales role is a hands-on, quota-carrying sales position responsible for personally generating design build landscape sales across Premier Service's three focus areas: high-end residential, golf course landscape and improvements, and commercial landscape. This seat combines a genuine landscape design background with a consultative, closing-focused sales approach. It carries a slightly earlier-career experience bar than senior design build sales hires, providing a path to grow overall sales capacity. The person in this role reports directly to the Director of Design Build Sales for pipeline management, sales coaching, and performance accountability.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture
• Minimum 8 years of experience in landscape design and/or design build sales, ideally spanning high-end residential, golf, and/or commercial landscape work.
• Demonstrated ability to manage a full consultative sales cycle independently, from first client consultation through signed contract.
• Solid technical design skills: site design, planting design, hardscape design; working knowledge of grading and drainage principles as they affect design feasibility and cost.
• Proficiency with design/presentation software (e.g., AutoCAD, SketchUp, Dynascape, or comparable tools).
• Comfortable operating within an EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) environment and a CRM-driven (Aspire) sales process.
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel regularly to client sites across the service area.

Responsibilities

• Personally source, consult on, design-concept, and close design build landscape sales across high-end residential, golf course, and commercial landscape clients.
• Conduct on-site client consultations, translating client vision and site conditions into a compelling design concept and proposal.
• Develop accurate, profitable estimates and proposals, protecting Premier Service's margin targets.
• Build and manage a personal sales pipeline in Aspire with full CRM discipline — from lead through signed contract.
• Meet or exceed an annual personal sales goal, with compensation tied to gross margin dollars generated on closed work.
• Build referral relationships with high-end residential clients, golf course superintendents and boards, and commercial property managers to reduce reliance on paid marketing leads over time.
• Participate in weekly pipeline reviews and sales coaching with the Director of Design Build Sales.
• Handoff sold projects cleanly to project management and field teams, staying available through early execution to protect design intent and client experience.
• Represent Premier Service's brand and Client Experience core value at every touchpoint, from first site visit through project completion.
