Hi,
Hope you are doing well.
Please find the job description below and let me know your interest.
Position: Project Sales Representative
Location: Hybrid in Phoenix, AZ
Duration: Full Time
Mode of Interview: Video
**Core Responsibility:**
- Develop turnkey mechanical and plumbing retrofit solutions for commercial customers. This person will evaluate facility systems, build customer relationships, create proposals, present solutions, and close deals. It's consultative selling - not transactional. They'll spend time understanding customer facility challenges, assessing mechanical systems, and developing ROI-focused retrofit proposals.
**Day-to-Day Mix:**
- 40% office (proposal development, calls, presentations)
- 60% field (facility inspections, rooftop access, jobsite visits, customer meetings)
**Ideal Background:**
- 4+ years HVAC/mechanical systems experience + 4+ years customer relationship management and sales
- Can diagnose mechanical systems OR strong sales closer who can lean on Harris's technical team (both paths work - ask during screening)
- Comfortable presenting to facility managers, plant directors, C-suite on energy savings and operational efficiency
- Prior experience with building retrofit, commercial HVAC, industrial refrigeration, or similar technical sales
**Compensation:**
- Sales Incentive Plan (SIP) with commission structure (details pending, but structure is in place)
- Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401K match, PTO, paid parental leave
**WHAT HARRIS OFFERS (Key Selling Points)**
1. **National platform with local autonomy** - Harris has resources, bonding capacity, design-build expertise across multiple US offices, but the Phoenix team operates with real ownership/autonomy
2. **In-house manufacturing** - Sheet metal, piping, specialty products fabricated in-house; you're not dependent on third-party suppliers
3. **Full service integration** - Design-build + installation + maintenance + controls + manufacturing; more leverage with customers than single-service competitors
4. **Retrofit focus** - Commercial facilities modernization (building automation, energy efficiency, mechanical upgrades) is a high-growth market; this role sits at the center of it
5. **Relationship-driven culture** - Harris positions as problem-solvers and long-term partners, not vendors; sales process reflects that
**COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE (for your research)**
Harris competes in Phoenix against:
- **Midstate Mechanical** (Arizona MEP contractor, established local presence)
- **Viking HVAC** (emerged 2016, retrofit-focused, growth-stage)
- **Albireo Energy** (building automation + energy services niche)
- **AimPro Mechanical** (design-build + 24/7 service)
- **Carrier Commercial** (OEM-backed service arm)
**Ideal:**
- Mechanical contractor background (field tech supervisor sales engineer)
- Energy efficiency/retrofit company (auditor retrofit sales specialist)
- Facility management (maintenance operations manager retrofit advisor)
- Commercial HVAC contractor (service manager project sales)
**Green Flags:**
- Contractor background (understands jobsite operations)
- Energy certification or retrofit project experience
- Track record closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals
- Experience presenting ROI/financial justification to C-suite
- Can explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
**Red Flags (per Harris):**
- Frequent job changes (< 18 months per role)
- Pure inside sales background (no field/technical exposure)
- Transactional sales approach (vs. consultative/solution-oriented)
- No willingness to do physical inspections or field work
- MVR issues (driving requirement for facility visits)
**SOURCING ANGLE**
Look for candidates currently at or recently departed from:
- HVAC/mechanical contractors (Midstate, AimPro, Viking, local players)
- Energy services firms (efficiency auditing, retrofits, controls)
- Facility management companies (now ready for sales side)
- Commercial equipment distributors (HVAC, plumbing)
- Carrier or similar OEM service branches (want independence)
