Requirements

Account Executive:This is where you come in

We’re looking for a Business Development–driven Account Executive with a strong background in mechanical/HVAC project sales who thrives on building something of their own. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to develop and grow your own customer portfolio, leveraging MacMiller’s strong brand reputation and full-service capabilities to open doors and create long-term relationships.

You won’t be starting from zero — you’ll step into a market with warm opportunities and internal connections through other MacMiller departments. Many of these leads come from our existing service, controls, and construction teams, where we already have strong relationships and active customers. It will take cultivation and follow-through to convert these into lasting partnerships, but for someone motivated to build their portfolio, this role offers a rare balance of warm leads, autonomy, and growth potential.

This position is ideal for someone who loves hunting for new opportunities, creating value for customers, and seeing projects through from concept to completion. In our Service Special Projects Department, you’ll handle projects that require ongoing HVAC maintenance contracts or quick-turnaround tenant improvements — while continuing to grow your personal book of business year after year.

In return for your hard work and success in achieving ambitious goals, you’ll be rewarded with ownership, growth opportunities, and the freedom to build your business the right way.

Top 3 things to deliver in your first year to be a hero:

Results –

• Build and grow your own customer portfolio by developing strong relationships and pursuing retrofit and tenant improvement opportunities.
• Generate approximately $1.5M–$2.5M in sold project revenue in your first year, depending on experience and market activity.
• Establish a qualified pipeline that positions you for $4M+ in annual revenue as you continue to grow in year two and beyond.
• Collaborate closely with estimating, engineering, and operations teams to deliver high-value proposals and maintain strong close ratios.

Partnership –
Build strong, lasting partnerships with our customers and anticipate their needs before they ask.

Quality Execution –
Perform project management duties, including effective cost and risk management, quality assurance, and timely delivery.

The Account Executive role reports to Chris Griffiths, Lead Account Executive, and is part of a collaborative team driving growth and delivering value to our customers across the region.

Your Background: What Kind of Person Will Thrive in This Role?

You should have:

• 3+ years of sales experience in HVAC, mechanical contracting, or related technical fields.
• A proven track record of developing new business and expanding customer relationships.
• A degree in Marketing, Mechanical Engineering, or another related technical field (preferred but not required).

And everyone you work with should describe you as:

• Exceptional at building relationships with internal and external customers.
• Skilled at preparing and presenting effective sales proposals.
• Detail-oriented when managing in-progress projects (forecasting and billing, cost and risk management, quality assurance, etc.).
• A go-getter and problem-solver who takes ownership of results.

And you should be motivated by:

• The opportunity to build and own your own portfolio of customers.
• Being a trusted advisor who helps customers improve comfort, efficiency, and performance.
• Working in a lean, results-oriented environment where initiative and achievement are recognized.
• Having fun in a transparent, innovative, and supportive culture.
