This is an opportunity to inherit a meaningful book of existing business while developing new customers across the carport, metal building, distribution, fabrication, and industrial markets. The company is looking for a commercially minded steel salesperson who understands the fundamentals of the industry, knows how to build lasting customer relationships, and can balance volume growth with profitability. Direct carport experience is NOT required. Strong candidates from other areas of the steel and metals industry are encouraged to apply. What You'll Do Manage and grow an established portfolio of customer accounts. Develop new business with distributors, fabricators, manufacturers, contractors, and other industrial buyers. Sell galvanized steel tubing into carports, metal buildings, and related applications. Own a customized 4-5 state territory based on location and existing market experience. Build long-term customer relationships through regular travel, face-to-face meetings, and consistent account management. Prepare quotes and negotiate pricing while protecting gross margin. Confidently work with steel pricing and conversions, including pounds, tons, CWT, per-piece pricing, and feet-per-ton calculations. Discuss gauges, coatings, dimensions, tolerances, and other product specifications with customers. Monitor market pricing, competitive activity, and customer demand. Coordinate with production, logistics, and inside sales to ensure successful order fulfillment. Forecast sales and maintain an accurate pipeline through Salesforce.

Professional, self-motivated, and comfortable managing a territory independently. Willingness to travel regularly throughout a multi-state territory. Carport, metal-building, or galvanized tubing experience is a plus, not a requirement. Territory The territory will be structured around the successful candidate and will generally include 4-5 states within the company's existing footprint, which currently spans markets including: AL | TN | LA | AR | MS | MO | KY | VA | OH | IN | IL Future expansion may include Texas and Oklahoma . Candidates located near Decatur, Alabama are preferred, although strong candidates elsewhere within the territory will be considered.
