Job Description
VANTIA Hardwoods, INC is a premier provider of high-quality building materials and design solutions. We pride ourselves on exceptional craftsmanship, seamless project execution, and top-tier client relationships. We are a tight-knit, collaborative team where everyone rolls up their sleeves, and we are looking for a versatile team player to join us in the office and out in the field.
Position Overview:
We are seeking an adaptable, detail-oriented Sales & Operations Specialist to bridge the gap between our clients, our projects, and our office operations. In this role, you will wear a few different hats—handling everything from initial blueprint takeoffs and client consultations to ordering materials and managing project logistics. The ideal candidate has a blend of technical accuracy (estimating and ordering) and interpersonal charm (sales and client management). Experience in construction or a natural eye for design is a massive plus, but the right attitude, willingness to learn, and team-first mentality are what matter most.
Key Responsibilities:
Estimating & Quoting:
Read and accurately pull dimensions from PDF plan sets, as well as conduct in-field measurements at residential and commercial job sites. Generate comprehensive, accurate quotes for clients.
Sales & Client Relations:
Meet face-to-face with homeowners, builders, and designers to guide them through the material selection and sales process. Actively follow up on leads and proposals to close deals.
Project Logistics & Admin:
Generate invoices, place precise material orders with vendors, and coordinate logistics to ensure timely project delivery.
Team Collaboration:
Maintain a "no task is too small" attitude, supporting office operations and collaborating closely with the rest of the team to ensure absolute client satisfaction.
What We Are Looking For:
The Ultimate Team Player:
You thrive in a collaborative environment, communicate clearly, and are always willing to lend a hand where needed.
Detail-Oriented & Organized:
You can smoothly jump between a spreadsheet, a client meeting, and a logistics tracking sheet without dropping the ball.
Tech & Plan Savvy:
Proficiency in reading digital blueprints (PDF plan sets) and a comfort level learning estimating software. Systems Exposure (Plus, but not required): Familiarity with tools like Pipedrive (CRM), NetSuite , or QuickBooks is a definite advantage.
Strong Communication:
Comfortable presenting to high-end clients, negotiating with builders, and collaborating with interior designers.
Experience:
A background in construction, interior design, building materials, or project management is highly valued. A keen eye for design or spatial awareness is a major bonus.
Reliable Transportation:
Required for local site visits and field measurements. Company vehicles are available.
