About The Position

Since 1992, Tradesmen International has been the construction industry’s premier Construction Labor Support Company, helping contractors greatly improve their workforce productivity while reducing their labor costs and recruitment efforts. We have organically grown our operations to over 100 locations across America, and our rapid growth has been made possible by an entrepreneurial spirit, our Employee First mentality, commitment to safety, and a dynamic, driven, and team-based culture. We are now seeking a highly motivated, experienced National Sales Leader – Marine (Marine NSL) to join our team. This role is ideal for a marine industry professional who excels in direct sales while also coaching and developing a small, specialized sales team.
