$22-$25/hr + 8% commission About the Role ALIVE Solar & Roofing is hiring a Roofing Sales Representative to work hand-in-hand with our Roofing Manager — bidding, estimating, and closing residential and commercial roofing jobs across San Diego County. You'll walk roofs, scope the work, build the bid, and sell it. Shingle, tile, TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen — if it goes on a roof, you'll learn to price it and sell it right. We are not a national franchise. We are not a call center. The name on the truck is the name that answers the phone after you sign the deal. If you can talk straight, scope a job honestly, and close without overpromising, we want to talk to you. This is a real career with a base, real commission, benefits, and room to grow into a sales lead. What You'll Do ▪ Work directly with the Roofing Manager to scope, measure, and bid residential and commercial roofing jobs. ▪ Walk roofs safely, assess condition, and identify scope — tear-off, repair, re-roof, or new install. ▪ Build accurate, profitable bids — shingle, tile, TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems. ▪ Present proposals to homeowners and commercial clients, explain the work plainly, and close the sale. ▪ Work company leads while hunting your own, grow your referral base, hit local events, and manage every prospect with speed and accountability. ▪ Coordinate the handoff to the roofing crew so the job that gets sold is the job that gets built. ▪ Stay involved through completion and collection — you sell it, you see it through, you get paid when we get paid. ▪ Track every opportunity, bid, and close in our system, and report numbers honestly to the manager. ▪ Represent ALIVE the right way on every roof and in every living room — local, accountable, no gimmicks. What We're Looking For ▪ Required 1-3+ years of sales experience — roofing, solar, construction, home improvement, or comparable in-home/B2B sales. ▪ Required Comfortable walking and inspecting roofs safely, and learning to scope and measure both residential and commercial systems. ▪ Required Strong closer with honest, plainspoken communication — no high-pressure gimmicks. ▪ Required Valid California driver's license, reliable transportation, clean MVR and the ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen. ▪ Required Able to work at heights, on your feet, and in heat and cold while inspecting roofs. ▪ Preferred Roofing or construction estimating experience — knowing how to price tear-off, materials, labor, and commercial low-slope systems. ▪ Preferred Commercial roofing sales experience (TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen). ▪ Nice to have Bilingual English/Spanish. ▪ Nice to have Existing book of business or referral network in the San Diego market. ▪ Nice to have Experience selling alongside a solar or service operation — we cross-sell. What We Offer Pay — Recoverable Draw + Commission Your compensation is built on an 8% commission on all roofing jobs you sell and collect — with a $22-$25/hr base that acts as a guaranteed advance (draw) paid every paycheck, so you're never living deal-to-deal. ▪ You always get paid. Every pay period you receive your $22-$25/hr base, no matter what's closed yet. That's the draw. ▪ Commission pays the difference. When a job is sold and collected, you earn 8%. We subtract the base already advanced, and you get the rest. ▪ "Recoverable" means it carries forward. A slow stretch may pay you more base than you earned in commission that period — that gap carries into your next strong month, not taken out of your paycheck or below minimum wage. ▪ The math always nets to 8%. Sell well and the base gets absorbed into a much larger commission check. Your total for the year is simply 8% of what you sold and collected. ▪ Training period protected. During your agreed-upon onboarding period (4-12 weeks depending on experience), you receive your full base pay with no draw recovery — ramp without pressure. ▪ Unlimited upside. There's no cap. At $2M sold you take home $160K. The harder you sell, the bigger the check. ▪ You keep your base, always. California law protects it. A shortfall carries forward against future commission, but is never pulled from your paycheck or below minimum wage. Additional Benefits ▪ Leads Company-generated leads plus the support of an established local brand — you're not starting cold. ▪ Benefits Medical, dental, and vision coverage. 401k + company match (eligible after 1st year worked). Voluntary life, accident, critical illness, and hospital confinement plans. HRA available. ▪ Time off Paid time off and paid holidays per the ALIVE handbook, plus eligibility for the annual team incentive pool. ▪ Tools Company-provided tablet/quoting tools and PPE for roof inspections. Mileage, vehicle, or vehicle allowance discussed at offer. ▪ Growth Paid product and estimating training, and a clear path to Senior Sales / Estimator and Roofing Sales Lead. ▪ Stability Steady year-round work — commercial, residential, and solar — not seasonal swings. Why ALIVE We build careers, not just rooftops. Our people are named in our Yelp reviews and still answering the phone after the job is done. We pay fair, we train, and we expect the work — and the sale — to reflect the name on the truck. Family-owned. Based in Escondido. Tesla Certified.
