HandyUp is looking for an outgoing, organized, bilingual Project Coordinator / Sales Representative to help our customers bring their home improvement projects to life.
This is a unique position combining sales, customer service, project coordination, and hands-on field involvement.
You do NOT need to be an experienced construction project manager.
We can teach you construction, landscaping, estimating, and our processes.
What we can't teach as easily is personality.
We're looking for someone who is great with people, communicates exceptionally well, is dependable, motivated, organized, comfortable taking responsibility, and genuinely enjoys helping customers.
If you have sales or customer-facing experience, speak fluent English and Spanish, and want an opportunity where your income can grow based on your performance, we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Do
HandyUp will provide you with qualified homeowner leads. No cold calling or door-to-door prospecting is required.
You'll communicate with homeowners, schedule appointments, visit their properties, understand what they want to accomplish, help develop the scope of work, prepare and present proposals, and help turn those opportunities into new HandyUp projects.
Once you sell a project, your job doesn't end.
You'll remain the primary connection between the homeowner and our field team throughout the project.
You'll help communicate the homeowner's vision to our Spanish-speaking crews, coordinate materials and schedules, visit jobsites, solve problems, order or pick up supplies when necessary, and make sure the project is being completed according to what was promised.
In other words, you'll help sell the project and then help make sure we deliver it successfully.
What We're Looking For
The ideal person is:
- Fluent in English and Spanish
- Excellent with people and comfortable talking with homeowners
- Confident in a sales environment
- A strong communicator
- Extremely dependable and punctual
- Organized and able to manage multiple moving pieces
- Comfortable taking ownership and solving problems
- Comfortable working independently
- Willing to learn construction, landscaping, and home improvement
- Physically capable of occasionally lifting and moving materials
- Not afraid to get dirty and jump in to help the team when necessary
- Able to travel throughout the East Bay
- Has a valid driver's license and reliable personal transportation
Previous experience in sales, landscaping, construction, home improvement, estimating, or project coordination is a plus, but construction experience is NOT required.
We are willing to train the right person who brings the right attitude, communication skills, work ethic, and willingness to learn.
Compensation
Starting Pay: $28/hour
In addition to hourly compensation, you'll earn:
3% commission on cash collected from every project you personally sell and manage.
Commission is based on actual customer payments collected by HandyUp and is paid as those payments are received.
For example, if you sell a $30,000 project and the customer makes payments throughout the project, you receive your commission as HandyUp collects those payments. When the final customer payment is collected upon successful project completion, the remaining applicable commission is earned and paid according to the company's commission plan.
This structure gives you the opportunity to significantly increase your income by selling great projects and successfully helping manage them through completion.
There is no requirement to generate your own leads. HandyUp provides the opportunities.
Business mileage using your personal vehicle will also be reimbursed according to company policy. If necessary, we can provide a work vehicle as well.
Additional performance-based bonuses and advancement opportunities may become available based on results.
Schedule
This is primarily a Monday–Friday position.
Some homeowners prefer weekend appointments, particularly Saturdays. Saturday sales appointments may be available for team members who want additional opportunities to close projects and earn additional commission.
Why This Position Is Different
This isn't a traditional desk job, and it isn't a traditional construction job.
One day you may be sitting with a homeowner discussing a $30,000 backyard transformation. The next day you may be at the jobsite communicating with the crew, picking up materials, solving an unexpected problem, or making sure the finished project matches what the customer was promised.
If you like variety, enjoy working with people, are motivated by performance-based compensation, and want to learn the home improvement business from the inside, this could be an excellent opportunity.
We're looking for someone who wants to grow with HandyUp and eventually take on significantly more responsibility as the company grows.
