Attend meetings, bid openings, and community site visits as required. Maintain detailed records of customer interactions, proposals, and project timelines. Work with purchasing and warehouse teams to ensure timely and accurate order fulfillment. Resolve issues quickly and professionally, ensuring a positive customer experience. Represent the company at Indigenous business events, trade shows, and community functions.

What You Bring

Proven success managing contractor or commercial accounts, ideally in lumber and building materials. Experience working with Indigenous governments, housing departments, or band-managed projects.
