Job Description

About the Role

Are you an experienced truss designer ready to step out from behind the screen and into the field? We're looking for a Truss Sales Representative who understands trusses inside and out — someone who can walk into a job site, talk shop with builders and estimators, and translate technical know-how into strong customer relationships and closed deals.

This is a great opportunity for a designer who's mastered the technical side of the business and is ready to grow into a client-facing role where that expertise becomes a real competitive advantage.

What You'll Do

  • Build and manage relationships with builders, contractors, and lumber yards in your territory
  • Provide expert guidance on truss systems, layouts, and engineering options to help customers spec the right product
  • Read blueprints and plans to develop accurate quotes and proposals
  • Partner with our design team to ensure smooth handoff from sale to production
  • Identify new business opportunities and grow existing accounts
  • Represent the company at job sites, pre-construction meetings, and industry events
  • Stay current on building codes, engineering standards, and product innovations

What You Bring

  • 2+ years of experience as a truss designer (roof and/or floor truss systems)
  • Strong working knowledge of truss engineering software (MiTek, Alpine, or similar)
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural plans
  • Excellent communication skills — comfortable talking with contractors, builders, and homeowners alike
  • A self-starter mentality with a genuine interest in sales and relationship-building
  • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel within the territory
  • No prior sales experience required — we'll train you on the sales process. We're looking for product knowledge and the drive to grow into this role.

Why Join Us

  • Competitive base salary plus commission structure
  • Hands-on sales training and mentorship
  • Clear path for career growth within the company
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
  • Supportive team that values technical expertise
