Full Job Description

Sell Projects. Build Relationships. Create Your Own Success.

Relay Fire & Safety is expanding throughout the Baltimore and DMV market and is looking for a driven sales professional to help grow our Fire Sprinkler Installation & Retrofit business.

This is a true capital projects sales role.

You'll work directly with building owners, facility managers, property management companies, contractors, and engineers to identify fire sprinkler replacement, modernization, expansion, and retrofit opportunities.

If you thrive on developing large project opportunities and want unlimited earning potential, this is the opportunity you've been looking for.
