Job Title: Sales & Estimating Associate
Location: Marietta, GA. In-office & field-based (not remote)
Compensation:
Initial 60–90 Day Training Period: $70,000 annualized salary
Following Transition to Full Sales Compensation: $35,000 base salary + 2% commission on total gross revenue of projects sold
About the Role:
We are seeking a highly motivated, professional, and personable Sales & Estimating Associate to join our growing team.
This is not a traditional sales assistant position. We are looking for someone who wants to learn our business, become highly knowledgeable in construction estimating and outdoor living projects, and ultimately grow into a full-time sales role with significant earning potential.
The ideal candidate is self-motivated, organized, articulate, comfortable working independently, and equally comfortable collaborating with our design, construction, and management teams.
We are not looking for an overly aggressive or high-pressure salesperson.
Our sales approach is consultative. We want someone who is patient, professional, passionate about construction and design, and capable of earning a client’s trust while helping guide them through a major investment in their property. This sales cycle can range from 30 days to 12 months.
About the Business:
Georgia Outdoor Design is a luxury outdoor design and construction company based in Marietta, Georgia. We design and build complete outdoor environments throughout the Metro Atlanta area, including:
- Luxury swimming pools
- Patios and hardscapes
- Retaining walls
- Outdoor kitchens
- Landscaping
- Outdoor living spaces
- Residential amenity areas
- Commercial outdoor projects
- Large-scale, turnkey outdoor renovations
Our projects often involve multiple trades and require detailed estimating, planning, communication, and coordination.
The Opportunity:
You will initially work closely with company leadership to learn our estimating systems, pricing, construction processes, sales approach, and client experience.
Our structure provides substantial upside for someone who is motivated to build a long-term career in construction sales. As your knowledge and experience grow, you will take increasing ownership of leads and ultimately manage your own opportunities.
Responsibilities:
Your responsibilities will grow as you become more familiar with our company, construction methods, pricing, and sales process.
Key responsibilities include:
- Prepare detailed construction estimates and client proposals
- Develop material, labor, subcontractor, and project budgets
- Coordinate with subcontractors and vendors to obtain pricing when necessary
- Review plans, designs, scopes of work, and site conditions to develop accurate project pricing
- Follow up consistently and professionally with prospective clients
- Maintain accurate lead and opportunity information within our CRM and sales pipeline
- Help qualify incoming leads and determine project fit
- Participate in and ultimately lead client consultations and sales meetings
- Visit prospective project sites throughout the Metro Atlanta area
- Present proposals and clearly explain project scope, pricing, options, and construction considerations
- Revise estimates and proposals based on client feedback
- Consult with clients to help turn their ideas into realistic, buildable projects
- Work collaboratively with our design and construction teams
- Assist with contracts, project documentation, and change orders
- Develop strong relationships with clients, vendors, subcontractors, designers, and internal team members
- Take increasing ownership of sales opportunities as your experience grows
- Ultimately manage your own projects through the sales process from lead → consultation → estimating → proposal → follow-up → contract
Required Experience:
Candidates MUST have experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Construction sales
- Construction estimating
- Pool construction
- Landscape or hardscape construction
- General contracting
- Home improvement sales
- Building material sales
- Project management
- High-value consultative sales
Experience in both sales and construction estimating is especially valuable.
We are willing to consider candidates whose background is stronger in one area if they demonstrate the intelligence, work ethic, communication skills, and motivation necessary to learn the other.
What We’re Looking For:
We are looking for someone who is
- Highly motivated and driven to succeed
- Professional, articulate, and confident communicating with clients
- Personable and capable of building genuine relationships
- Patient and consultative rather than aggressive or pushy
- Highly organized and attentive to details
- Comfortable discussing project budgets and large purchases with clients
- Capable of working independently without constant supervision
- Equally comfortable working as part of a team
- Persistent and disciplined with follow-up
- Comfortable learning construction details, pricing, materials, and installation methods
- Able to manage multiple opportunities and priorities simultaneously
- Passionate about sales, construction, design, or the outdoor living industry
- Interested in building a career and taking on greater responsibility over time
What We Offer:
Georgia Outdoor Design will provide the tools necessary to perform the position successfully, including:
- Company laptop
- Company phone
- Company iPad
- Company truck for business use
- Basic materials and equipment necessary for the position
- 6+ company shirts
- Company hats

This Position May Be a Great Fit If…
You enjoy sales but don’t believe in pressuring people into making decisions.
You like construction and want to understand how projects are actually built and priced, rather than simply selling a product.
You enjoy meeting clients, walking properties, developing solutions, preparing proposals, and ultimately seeing projects you sold come to life.
Most importantly, you are looking for an opportunity where you can prove yourself, take on increasing responsibility, and build a long-term career with a growing construction company.
If that describes you, we’d like to hear from you.
