Actively prospect and generate new business opportunities in underground utility services for the gas, power and water industry.
Conduct in-person visits to jobsites, offices, and pre-bid meetings to understand project scopes and position services early in the bidding process.

Prepare and present quotes, proposals, and service solutions tailored to customer needs and project requirements.
Consistently meet or exceed sales and revenue targets.
Track and manage leads, opportunities, and customer interactions in CRM systems.

Represent the company at industry events, networking functions, and trade associations.
Negotiate pricing and contracts while maintaining profitability and customer satisfaction.

Qualifications & Requirements

3–5+ years of outside sales experience in construction, utilities, excavation, or related field (required).
Strong understanding of construction processes, jobsite dynamics, and underground utility work preferred.
Experience selling services (not just products), especially in a B2B environment.
Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets.
Ability to read construction plans or understand project scopes is a plus.
Excellent relationship-building and consultative selling skills.
Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and manage a territory.

What Sets This Role Apart

Opportunity to sell specialized, high-demand services that improve jobsite safety and efficiency.
Direct impact on company growth in a niche, expanding market.
Work closely with operations teams on real-world projects—not just transactional sales.
Openings available for Hampton Roads, Richmond and Roanoke.
