Requirements POSITION SUMMARY: A Commercial Door Salesperson specializing in solid wood, hollow metal, and metal buck frames for high-traffic environments (hospitals, schools, businesses) acts as a technical sales representative.

Quoting & Proposal Development: Create timely and accurate detailed proposals and cost estimates for projects, ensuring competitive pricing and proper margin. Product Expertise: Provide expert advice on fire-rated assemblies, security hardware, and specialized doors (e.g., lead-lined hospital doors, automatic operators). Order Management & Coordination: Process orders, generate submittals/shop drawings, manage project deadlines, and coordinate with manufacturers and internal logistics for on-time delivery. Site Visits & Consultations: Conduct on-site evaluations to determine necessary products and troubleshoot installation issues. Other duties: As requested directed or assigned. KEY SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS: Industry Knowledge: 2–5+ years’ of sales experience in commercial door and frame components, specifically with hollow metal doors, frames and hardware. Technical Aptitude: Ability to read and interpret complex architectural drawings, blueprints, and building codes (fire codes, NFPA 80/101, ADA). Computer Skills: Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and industry-specific software (e.g., Bistrack). Communication & Negotiation: Strong interpersonal skills for dealing with contractors, architects, and end-users. Organizational Skills: Ability to handle multiple, simultaneous projects with tight deadlines. Must be highly organized with strong attention to detail. Credentials: Credentials such as AHC (Architectural Hardware Consultant) or CDC (Certified Door Consultant) are a plus. Common Job Settings & Projects Healthcare: Hospitals, clinics, and labs requiring specific, durable, or hygienic door solutions. Education: Schools and universities requiring safety-rated, high-traffic, and secure door systems. Business/Industrial: Office buildings, warehouses, and factories.
