Residential Construction Sales Representative

About the role

Groundline Contractors is a new residential general contracting business serving Northern New Jersey. We’re looking for an experienced salesperson who can meet homeowners, understand the work they need, prepare clear estimates, and turn qualified leads into signed projects.

This is a part-time role for someone who can manage appointments, follow up consistently, and close sales with minimal supervision. You’ll work directly with the owner, who approves final pricing, and help build a reliable sales process as the company grows.

What you’ll do

• Contact company-provided leads, schedule home visits, and respond promptly to customer questions.
• Meet homeowners, listen to their goals, and explain how Groundline can help with their remodeling or repair project.
• Take photos, measurements, and clear notes so we can price the work accurately.
• Prepare clear estimates and proposals using our pricing tools and guidance.
• Explain pricing and options, answer questions, and ask for the sale.
• Follow up on open estimates and help customers move forward with signed agreements.
• Keep customer details, appointments, estimates, and next steps up to date in our apps.
• Hand off sold projects to the owner and field team with clear notes about the work and customer expectations.
• Help grow the business through referrals, repeat customers, and new opportunities.

What we’re looking for

• At least 5 years of experience in residential construction or home improvement, including at least 3 years selling residential projects.
• A proven record of following up with leads and closing sales. Be ready to share examples of projects you have sold.
• Comfortable running homeowner appointments independently and discussing common remodeling and repair work.
• Clear communication, reliable attendance, and strong follow-through.
• Reliable transportation for appointments throughout Northern New Jersey and a valid driver’s license for required driving.

Strongly preferred

• Bilingual English and Spanish is strongly preferred for communicating with homeowners and field crews.

Technology

• Comfortable using a smartphone or tablet to take photos, record notes, and update customer information.
• Able to use email, shared calendars, simple spreadsheets, and mobile or web apps.
• Willing to learn and consistently use our sales and estimating tools.

Pay and schedule

Starting base pay: $25–$30 per hour, depending on experience, plus commission. Commission details will be discussed during hiring and confirmed in a written commission plan before you start.

Part-time, approximately 20 hours per week, based in Madison, NJ 07940, with home visits throughout Northern New Jersey. Appointments will be scheduled in advance. Home visits, travel between appointments, estimates, and follow-up will fit within an agreed weekly schedule. Additional hours may become available as the business grows, by mutual agreement. Company leads are provided; bringing in your own leads is appreciated.

• Mileage reimbursement for approved work travel to help cover gas and vehicle expenses.
