• Lead by example and be willing to jump in wherever needed.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous experience in Lumber & Building Materials, hardware, construction, or a related industry.
• Sales experience and the ability to confidently communicate with customers in the field.
• Strong leadership and people-management skills.
• Good organizational skills and attention to detail.

• Employees know what is expected of them and work effectively as a team.
