Great Lakes Cabinet is looking for an Intermediate Cabinet Designer & Sales Representative to join our kitchen and cabinetry showroom. We are looking for someone who can combine strong design skills with a genuine sales mindset. This is not a position where success comes simply from waiting for customers to walk through the door. The right person will be comfortable developing relationships, following up consistently, identifying opportunities, and helping turn inquiries into completed projects. Our showroom and sales operation are continuing to grow, which makes this a good opportunity for someone who wants to have a meaningful impact on that growth. You will have access to cabinet lines, design software, vendor resources, existing customers and referrals, showroom traffic, and internal support, but you will also be expected to actively build your own pipeline and take ownership of your sales performance. This role is best suited for someone with experience in cabinetry, kitchen and bath design, interior design, construction-related sales, or a similar field who already has a solid foundation and wants to continue developing into a high-performing designer and salesperson. You will work directly with homeowners, builders, remodelers, contractors, and trade professionals on kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, offices, built-ins, and whole-home cabinetry projects.
