Launch Your Career in Commercial Sales

Are you motivated, competitive, and looking for more than just another job?

Springfield Striping & Sealing is looking for someone with the drive, curiosity, and work ethic to build a successful career in commercial sales. You don't need years of experience in construction or sales, we're looking for someone we can invest in.

Our Commercial Sales Associate Development Program is designed to prepare motivated individuals for a long-term career in commercial sales. You'll work directly alongside one of our top-performing Commercial Sales Representatives, learning how to build relationships, solve customer problems, prepare estimates, and manage projects from start to finish.

If you're coachable, enjoy meeting people, and want to build a career with unlimited growth potential, we'd love to meet you.
