Our client is a trusted and growing electrical contractor serving commercial, industrial, and institutional clients throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Known for our commitment to safety, integrity, and quality craftsmanship, we offer a wide range of electrical services with a focus on long-term client partnerships. As we continue to expand our reach, we’re looking to hire an experienced and results-driven Outside Sales – Relationship Manager to lead business development efforts and drive sustainable growth.


Position Overview:


This role is ideal for a self-motivated, client-focused professional with a strong background in outside sales and service-based selling. As a Relationship Manager, you will function as both a hunter and account manager, responsible for generating new business opportunities, managing existing client relationships, and acting as a liaison between clients and internal operations.


This is not a product sales role, this is all about selling services and solutions in the electrical contracting space. You will be the face of our client in the field, meeting with clients, understanding their needs, and positioning our client's capabilities as the best solution.

Who You Are:
