This is a critical hire to help establish the brand in a new territory and build long‑term client relationships with contractors, utilities, and civil engineering firms. The role covers sales, rental support, and technical service for trench safety solutions including shoring boxes, slide rail systems, hydraulic shoring, and confined space safety products.

Base pay range $40,000.00/yr - $65,000.00/yr

About the Opportunity

This is a ground‑floor opportunity with a new branch, offering full ownership of a wide‑open territory. The successful candidate will:

Be the face of the business across Houston, developing and maintaining customer relationships

Target contractors, utilities, and infrastructure firms involved in underground or excavation work

Promote trench safety systems including trench boxes, hydraulic shore, slide rail, and other excavation support tools

Work closely with operations, logistics, and field service to deliver seamless solutions

Help shape the branch’s reputation by being reliable, visible, and competitive in the field

Ideal Candidate Profile

Is a true go‑getter, self‑starter, and someone who knows how to hustle in a competitive field sales environment

Has experience selling or renting trench safety equipment, construction rental, or adjacent capital equipment such as aerial, compact, or material handling

Has a strong local network or familiarity with the Texas contractor landscape

Thrives in a fast‑paced, boots‑on‑the‑ground role with early mornings, jobsite visits, and consistent follow‑through

Is competitive and driven to win, wants to be known in their market, and owns their territory with pride

Has backbone. Someone who builds rapport but can also push back and negotiate professionally when needed

Respects customer relationships and plays the long game on value, not just price

Experience in trench and shoring is a plus (1‑2 years experience), but not essential. Sales ability and attitude will outweigh product knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

Generate and close new business in trench safety rentals and sales across Houston.

Conduct jobsite visits, safety briefings, equipment walkarounds, and solution consultations

Maintain regular territory coverage with jobsite activity and proactive pipeline building

Provide customers with quotes, technical specs, rental support, and service coordination
