The CSL proactively develops business through direct prospecting, networking, referrals, field engagement, partner relationships, and account expansion; builds trusted relationships across client buying committees; identifies and qualifies opportunities; understands the operational and business impact of client needs; brings the appropriate technical and operational experts into the process; leads solution development and commercial strategy; and drives opportunities through proposal, negotiation, close, and follow-through. The role is expected to build pipeline, not merely work pipeline, and represents the company with integrity, urgency, practical judgment, and a strong bias toward action.

Mechanical as a credible resource when difficult problems arise, • Generate new opportunities within existing accounts by developing additional contacts, locations, departments, trades, maintenance needs, capital needs, and operational relationships, • Build referral and market relationships with general contractors, engineers, manufacturers, representatives, vendors, property and facility professionals, strategic partners, and other sources of commercial opportunity, • Use field presence, client conversations, market intelligence, site observations, and operational discovery to uncover needs that may not have entered the company through traditional inbound channels, • Participate in industry events, association activity, client events, networking opportunities, and relevant community or market activities that can create relationships and pipeline, • Coordinate prospecting and target-account activity with the Client Development Lead to increase market coverage, avoid unnecessary duplication, and ensure promising targets receive consistent follow-through, • Maintain disciplined prospecting and business-development activity as a core expectation of the role; the CSL is responsible for creating pipeline, not only converting opportunities created by others Client Relationship & Growth: • Develop multi-contact relationships within client organizations, including operational, technical, executive, finance, procurement, property, and site-level stakeholders as appropriate, • Identify expansion opportunities across client locations, trades, services, maintenance needs, capital plans, and future operating requirements, • Partner with the Client Development Lead on account planning, target prioritization, contact mapping, whitespace analysis, and coordinated outreach, • Support a client experience in which every inquiry receives capable, positive attention; never use account assignment as a reason to pass a client around, • Provide market, competitor, client, and opportunity intelligence to the broader commercial and operational teams to improve decision-making and growth Commercial Discipline & Collaboration: • Maintain timely and accurate opportunity information, client intelligence, next steps, and material commercial activity in the company CRM and provide the information required for reliable pipeline management, • Coordinate closely with the Client Development Lead, operations, service, estimating, project teams, and technical contributors to keep opportunities moving without rigid handoffs or internal ownership barriers, • Participate in pipeline reviews, forecasting, account reviews, sales planning, and other commercial operating cadences, • Follow established pricing, margin, approval, proposal, documentation, and client communication standards while exercising sound commercial judgment, • Act in the client's best interest and protect long-term trust by communicating honestly, setting realistic expectations, and recommending the right solution rather than the largest solution MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Education/Experience: High School diploma or GED and five (5) years of experience in commercial sales, mechanical services, field service, account development, business development, construction, facilities, industrial services, or a related client-facing role.
