Experienced Commercial Garage Door Technician (Service & Sales) $85K to $150K+ | Sign On Bonus | Health Insurance | Company Vehicle | Minneapolis / St. Paul This role is built for a closer who can also turn a wrench. SGD Garage Door is looking for an experienced commercial technician who knows how to sell. Not an installer. Not a helper. Someone who has spent real time on commercial doors, knows the systems cold, and can walk into a business, find the problem, and sell the fix. If you have commercial experience and the sales instinct to go with it, there is no ceiling on what you can earn here.
THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY LEVEL ROLE
Commercial is a different animal than residential and we are not going to teach you the basics. You should already be comfortable with: Rolling steel, sectional commercial doors, high cycle springs, Commercial operators Troubleshooting a system nobody has documented, on a building that cannot be down tomorrow Quoting the work yourself and standing behind the number If somebody else has always written your quotes, this one is not for you.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Diagnose, repair, install, and maintain commercial doors and related systems Quote and sell repairs, replacements, and preventative maintenance agreements directly to the business Own the quote from the walk through to the signature. You write it, you follow up on it, you close it Work with property managers, facility managers, and owners who need a straight answer and a real timeline Manage your truck inventory and keep it stocked for the week ahead Document the work, the payments, and your recommendations accurately in our systems Represent SGD as the expert on that property, every job, every time
TAKE CARE OF THE CLIENT AND THE REST FOLLOWS
Commercial runs on relationships. A property manager who trusts you does not shop the next three jobs, and he tells the other managers in his group. Build the relationship first. Understand what the business is actually trying to accomplish, which is usually keeping the building running and the costs predictable. Then give them an honest assessment, explain what you see and why it matters, and lay out real options so they can make a decision. We do not sell people things they do not need. We are also not afraid to recommend the right and necessary repairs when a system needs it. Take care of the relationship and solve the problem. The sales and the referrals follow. That approach built an operation with more than 100 people across two states and over 10,000 reviews.
THE TEAM YOU ARE JOINING
You will not be out there by yourself. We started with two owners and three technicians. Almost everybody leading this company today came off a truck, so nobody here has forgotten what a hard day in the field feels like. Sign on bonus for experienced techs Health insurance Office and technical support behind you, so you are selling and working instead of chasing paperwork Access to the best commercial guys we have when you hit something unusual Commercial is a side of this business we are growing in the Twin Cities, and the people who help build it will have room in front of them A family owned company with a reputation for doing things right We are building a team here, not filling a route.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

THIS PROBABLY IS NOT FOR YOU IF
