The posting
About the Role Southeastern Traffic Supply (STS) provides flagging, Maintenance of Traffic (MOT), and traffic control equipment and rental services to contractors and DOT projects across Florida and Georgia. We are seeking a driven, competitive Field Sales Representative to manage and grow an assigned territory. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in the field, enjoys building relationships, is motivated by winning new business, and wants their performance to directly impact their earnings. The successful candidate will be comfortable spending the majority of their week visiting customers and active job sites, identifying opportunities, closing business, and developing long-term customer relationships. What You'll Do
Manage and grow an assigned book of business throughout your Florida/Georgia territory targeting Tampa, West Palm, Fort Myers, Melbourne, Orlando, Daytona, and Miami. Proactively prospect for and close new accounts while retaining and expanding existing customer relationships. Regularly visit active construction and job sites to understand customer needs firsthand. Develop strong relationships with contractors, DOT personnel, and other customers within the assigned territory. Coordinate with the in-house estimating team to provide customers with fast, accurate quotes. Represent STS professionally in blue-collar, industrial, construction, and DOT job-site environments. Identify opportunities to expand services and increase revenue within existing accounts. Maintain consistent communication and follow-up with prospects and customers.
Communication & Judgment The traffic control industry moves quickly. Customer requests often come with short timelines, and customers expect a sales representative who understands that urgency and responds accordingly.
Respond to time-sensitive customer requests with urgency; same-day turnarounds are often the expectation. Remain calm and professional when issues arise with a job, order, or customer request. De-escalate challenging customer situations and work toward positive solutions. After completing initial training, independently interpret customer emails and calls and translate them into complete, accurate requests for the Operations team. Capture all critical details, including location, timing, scope, access requirements, and other information necessary for successful execution. Use sound judgment and critical thinking to address situations that may not have a straightforward or predefined solution.
Schedule & Work Environment This is a road-based field sales role.
4 days per week: In the field visiting customers and active job sites. 1 day per week: In the office, typically Fridays, for administrative work, planning, and team coordination. Comfortable working in blue-collar, industrial, construction, and DOT environments is essential. Work boots and appropriate PPE are standard daily attire. Regular visits to active construction and DOT job sites are a core responsibility of the position.
