service opportunities, and help grow Kilgore's recurring service and replacement business.

handoffs, existing customer expansion, and targeted account development.
- Build and maintain relationships with facility managers, building owners, property managers, engineers, contractors,
consultants, and other decision-makers.
- Meet with customers to understand building system challenges, aging equipment, recurring service issues, budget concerns,

manner.
- Translate technical service needs into practical customer language, helping customers understand operating risk, repair

- Represent Kilgore professionally with commercial, industrial, healthcare, and mission-critical facility customers.

Ideal Candidate

solutions. This person understands how to build trust with customers who manage complex buildings and can move

mechanical, MEP, construction, facilities, or building services preferred.
- Strong understanding of commercial HVAC/mechanical systems required.
- Familiarity with electrical, plumbing, and broader MEP systems preferred.
- Experience selling service agreements, preventive maintenance, repairs, retrofits, upgrades, equipment replacements, or
service projects preferred.
- Ability to communicate with building owners, facility managers, property managers, engineers, contractors, and operations
