Job Description

Company Overview

We are partnering with a highly respected commercial integration firm based in Missouri, recognized for its integrity, long-standing client relationships, and thoughtful system design. With over four decades of service, this organization has built a loyal customer base by prioritizing people over transactions, and designing solutions that work—for today and tomorrow.

Their approach? Simple: do what’s right, listen well, and deliver exceptional results through technology. Focused exclusively on commercial clients, they specialize in audio/video, access control, surveillance, and more—operating in specialized, expert-driven pods that collaborate rather than compete. As a result, team members find stability, autonomy, and the opportunity to grow meaningful careers.

Why Join Us?

• Build Your Own Practice: Start as a team of one and evolve into a leader managing your own specialized AV group within the company.
• True Autonomy: You’ll be trusted to manage your work, design your proposals, and own your customer relationships—with backup when you need it.
• Mentorship From the Best: You’ll overlap with a seasoned sales engineer retiring after 30 years, giving you access to institutional knowledge and a smooth onboarding.
• People-First Culture: From all-hands support to flexibility in schedules and a paid family gym membership from day one, this company puts people first—always.
• Longevity with Purpose: Many clients have been with the company for 10 to 20+ years. You’re not selling a project—you’re building a relationship.
  
   

Position Overview

We’re seeking a Sales Engineer to lead and expand the company’s commercial AV division. This is not your typical sales gig. You’ll function as a sales consultant and solutions architect, responsible for generating your own leads, designing AV systems, and guiding projects from concept to closeout.

You won’t just sell the system—you’ll help implement your own proposals early on to build rapport with the technical team and understand how installs come together. Eventually, the goal is to grow your own team under you.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on ownership, loves the technical side of integration, and enjoys building lasting partnerships with clients.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain your own client pipeline—lead generation is fully self-managed.
• Conduct on-site consultations to assess client needs and develop technical AV solutions.
• Design, scope, and present tailored AV system proposals.
• Collaborate with internal technical teams to ensure accurate system implementation.
• Shadow installs early in your tenure to build team cohesion and understand field operations.
• Provide ongoing account management and serve as a long-term advisor to clients.
• Eventually hire and mentor additional AV sales staff as the division grows.
• Travel to sites across Missouri as needed (typically within a 3.5-hour radius, with expenses covered).
  
   

Qualifications

• Proven experience in commercial AV system sales, engineering, or installation.
• Strong technical understanding of AV integration principles and design.
• Customer-focused and highly relational—you view yourself as a consultant, not a closer.
• Self-starter mentality with excellent organizational and communication skills.
• Comfortable working independently in a small business environment.
• Capable of wearing many hats and adjusting to the evolving needs of a growing company.
• Valid driver's license and flexibility for regional travel.
  
   

Bonus Points For

• Background in electrical/low-voltage work or AV system installation.
• Experience working for or selling AV solutions on behalf of manufacturers.
• Exposure to video surveillance, access control, or related security technologies.
• Comfort navigating small-town business culture with humility and professionalism.
  
   

Compensation & Structure

• Base Salary: $50,000–$60,000 (depending on experience)
• Commission: Tiered commission structure
  
   

Benefits:

 

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Disability and life insurance
• Paid time off
• Retirement plan
• Weekly-paid gym membership for you and your family (starts on Day 1)
• Yearly profit-sharing bonus after 12 months, increasing over time
