Building Materials / Lumberyard Experience Required
Join the #1 Building Materials Distributor in America
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
If you're an Outside Sales pro in the lumber and building materials world, you already know the difference between just another sales job—and a career where your relationships, expertise, and hustle actually pay off.
We provide top performers with the tools, support, and freedom to build their businesses while helping shape the future of residential, multifamily, and commercial construction.
If you’re connected in the market (Carter / Holmes, S&L, 84, Contract Lumber, Graves Lumber, etc.) and know how to win with lumber, trusses, stairs, millwork, and more—this is where you level up.
High performers with a strong customer portfolio can qualify for a 6–12 month income guarantee before moving to full commission. Your success fuels your earnings.
