This is a hybrid role designed for someone who can confidently manage project execution and support business development efforts.

You’ll work closely with our Commercial Account Manager to estimate projects, walk buildings, support scopes, attend client meetings, and then take ownership of projects through completion. The focus: high-quality execution, clear communication, and a great customer experience. If you’re proactive, confident with people, and motivated by seeing your outreach turn into measurable growth, this is a great opportunity to join one of Chicagoland’s most trusted painting companies and build a long-term career.

Participate in walkthroughs, scope development, and bid strategy. Build estimates using CertaPro tools and industry standards. Support pre-construction planning, material specifications, and vendor coordination. Client Relations & Business Development Support Join client meetings with the Commercial Account Manager to provide technical insight. Develop strong relationships with facility managers, property managers, and GC partners. Support commercial business development initiatives (light outreach, relationship nurturing). Represent the company professionally onsite and during client interactions. What You’ll Bring 3–7+ years in commercial painting, construction, facilities, or related project management. Strong understanding of equipment, jobsite logistics, safety, and trades coordination. Comfortable estimating commercial scopes (or able to learn quickly). Confident walking into a room with GCs, FMs, or property managers. Able to partner with sales without ego — collaborative, team-centric personality. Strong communication and organization skills.
