About The Position

BuildingWorks is seeking part-time sales representatives with established relationships in the commercial construction industry. This commission-only role is intended for professionals who want to earn additional income by introducing BuildingWorks’ construction closeout documentation services to their network. Typical contracts range from $15,000 to $40,000 or more, and commissions are tied to projects originated by the representative. Commission rates are discussed during the interview process and depend on involvement in the sales cycle. There is no base salary or benefits.

Representatives identify and pursue qualified opportunities with general contractors and building owners, develop relationships with project decision-makers, and act as BuildingWorks’ local point of contact. They qualify projects based on size, timing, and fit, arrange introductions and initial meetings, participate in discovery calls, help prepare proposals, and support the sales process through contract signing. BuildingWorks handles scoping, pricing, and contracting. Representatives also track active and upcoming local construction projects and share market intelligence with the company.

The role is designed to fit around other commitments. Most successful representatives spend 5–10 hours per week on outreach, meetings, and relationship building. There are no minimum activity requirements. BuildingWorks provides service and platform training, marketing materials, case studies, proposal support, back-end support for scoping, pricing, and contracting, and CRM access to track opportunities and commissions.
