Technical Sales & Business Development Representative – Construction

Yes. I’d keep SBS very close to how Ontario construction/material companies are already advertising these roles. Current postings commonly use “Outside Sales,” explicitly state commission-only/uncapped earnings, require travel and a vehicle, value existing contractor relationships, and emphasize that the company provides estimating/technical support while the salesperson hunts and closes business. LinkedIn

I’d use this as your final posting:
