ABOUT THE CLIENT

• Most Industrial PMs are bored. They’re building "dry" warehouses big, empty boxes with zero technical complexity. My client doesn’t do "dry." They do heavy-process, high-thermal, and automated cold storage.
• With over 90% repeat business, they don’t spend their time bidding against 20 other firms on low-margin projects. They are the trusted advisors for the biggest food producers and logistics firms in the country. If you want to manage $100M+ projects where your technical expertise actually matters, this is it.

ABOUT THE ROLE

• The Experience: 7–10+ years in Project Management. You must have a portfolio that includes Cold Storage, Food Processing, or high-tech Industrial projects.
• The Technical IQ: You understand the pressure differentials of a freezer, the importance of heated floor slabs, and the logistics of NH3 systems.
• Client-Facing Prowess: You can sit in a C-suite boardroom and explain why a certain insulated panel is worth the extra $200k in long-term energy savings.
• The "Generalist" Skills: Master of Procore, P6, and the ability to mentor junior APMs into the next generation of specialists.

ABOUT THE CANDIDATE

• Pre-Construction Strategy: Partnering with clients early to consult on refrigeration options (CO2 vs. Ammonia), slab-on-grade designs, and thermal efficiency.
• Specialized Procurement: Managing long-lead items unique to cold storage—refrigeration racks, high-speed doors, and specialized IMP systems.
• Thermal Integrity Oversight: Ensuring the design eliminates all "thermal bridges" and that the vapor barrier is 100% continuous.
• Financial Leadership: Total P&L responsibility for projects where "getting it right the first time" is the only option. One leak in a cold room can cost millions in ruined product.

Third Coast Roofing is an established solar energy company expanding into the residential and commercial roofing space. We’re building a dedicated roofing division from the ground up — and we’re looking for a driven sales leader to take ownership of that growth. This isn’t a corporate middle-management seat. This is a ground-floor opportunity with a clear path to equity and long-term ownership.

We’re hiring a Sales Manager to launch and scale our roofing division. You’ll come in as the lead salesperson, close deals using company-provided leads, and build out a full sales team as the division grows. You’ll have the resources of an established company behind you — including marketing support, lead generation, and operational infrastructure — with the upside of an entrepreneurial role.

After 12 to 24 months of proven performance, you’ll have the opportunity to earn an ownership stake in the roofing division. We want someone who thinks like an owner from day one — because that’s exactly where this is headed.

• Take ownership of the roofing sales pipeline from day one, working company-provided leads and door-to-door canvassing to close residential and commercial roofing projects
• Develop and execute a sales strategy to grow the roofing division’s revenue month over month
• Recruit, hire, train, and manage a sales team as volume increases
• Conduct in-home and on-site consultations, perform inspections, and present proposals to homeowners and property managers
• Build relationships with referral partners, insurance adjusters, and real estate professionals
• Track all activity, pipeline data, and KPIs using CRM tools
• Collaborate with operations, project management, and marketing to ensure a seamless customer experience
• Knock doors in targeted neighborhoods and storm-affected areas to generate additional pipeline
• Represent Third Coast Roofing with professionalism and integrity in the field and in the community
  

• 3+ years of sales experience in roofing, construction, home improvement, or a related field
• Proven ability to close deals and hit revenue targets
• Experience building or managing a sales team (or a strong desire and readiness to do so)
• Strong knowledge of residential and/or commercial roofing systems, materials, and installation processes
• Familiarity with insurance restoration and storm damage claims is a plus
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Comfortable with door-to-door sales and direct outreach in the field
• Self-starter mentality — you don’t wait to be told what to do
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
  

• Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission on closed deals
• Company-generated leads plus door knocking opportunities — the company invests in lead generation so you’re not doing it all on your own
• Marketing and operational support from an established company
• CRM and technology tools to manage your pipeline
• Clear path to equity and ownership in the roofing division within 12 to 24 months
• The chance to build something from the ground up with real long-term upside
  

This role is built for someone who has been selling roofing (or a similar product) and is ready for the next step — not just another sales job, but a real stake in a growing business. If you’ve ever wanted to run your own roofing company but didn’t want to take on all the risk alone, this is your shot. You bring the sales ability and the hustle. We bring the brand, the leads, and the infrastructure.

Submit your resume and a brief note about why this opportunity fits where you’re headed. We’re not looking for a cover letter template — just tell us what drives you and what you’ve built so far.
