Job Description

Commercial Construction Sales | In-Person & Field Based

Build a Career in Commercial Construction Sales!

Are you a motivated, outgoing professional who enjoys building relationships, connecting with people, and developing new business opportunities?

Looking for a sales career where your initiative, hard work, and results can lead to significant earning potential?

First Fence of Georgia is looking for a Business Development Associate to join our growing commercial division. You’ll work alongside experienced sales professionals, develop relationships with general contractors, identify new business opportunities, and learn the technical side of commercial construction sales.

You don’t need a construction background. We’re looking for someone with strong people skills, a sales mindset, and the drive to learn and grow. We’ll teach you the technical side of the business.

This is an opportunity to build toward a six-figure career, with the potential to earn $100,000+ within 3–5 years – possibly sooner depending on your performance and development.

What’s In It for You?

• Starting salary: $57,500–$62,500, starting pay is based on experience
• Growth potential: Opportunity to earn performance-based incentives and bonuses as you develop
• Long-term earning opportunity: Potential to exceed $100,000 annually within 3–5 years as your responsibilities and results grow
• Company vehicle: Planned after approximately 60–90 days, with approved business mileage and fuel expenses covered initially
• Hands-on training: Learn commercial estimating, project development, construction operations, and relationship management
• Career advancement: Opportunity to grow into a larger commercial sales and account management role
• Employee ownership: Be part of an employee-owned company where teamwork, accountability, and long-term success matter

Additional Benefits:

• Health \& Dental Insurance
• 401(k)
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) – fully vested after six years
• Paid Time Off (10 days/year)
• Reputable, stable company

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work closely with the commercial sales team, gaining exposure to the full process of developing, estimating, and securing commercial fencing projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Build and maintain relationships with general contractors, existing customers, and prospective commercial clients
• Attend pre-bid meetings, customer meetings, and construction site visits
• Research new business opportunities and help expand First Fence’s commercial customer base
• Learn to review construction plans, specifications, and project requirements
• Assist with estimating, preparing bids, and developing commercial proposals
• Manage customer inquiries, email correspondence, and follow-up on open opportunities
• Track project opportunities, deadlines, and customer communications
• Work alongside experienced commercial sales professionals to learn the business and gradually assume greater responsibility

This is a combination of relationship-building, business development, project coordination, and technical learning – with the opportunity to grow into a more independent commercial sales role.

What We’re Looking For

We’re more interested in your potential, work ethic, and personality than whether you’ve worked in the fencing industry.

Our ideal candidate brings:

• Strong interpersonal skills and a natural ability to connect with people
• Confidence communicating professionally with customers and business partners
• A proactive, self-motivated attitude and willingness to take initiative
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, and follow-through
• Curiosity, problem-solving skills, and a desire to understand how things work
• Comfort using Microsoft Office, email, and business software
• Basic math skills and a willingness to learn construction estimating
• Ability to balance office responsibilities with meetings and visits in the field
• A driving record that meets company vehicle insurance requirements

Experience in sales, customer service, account management, business development, or construction is a plus – but not required.

Recent graduates and professionals looking to build a career in commercial construction are encouraged to apply.
