Outside Sales Representative – Fire Protection

Las Vegas, NV

Build Relationships. Drive Growth. Protect What Matters.

At Core & Main, we help keep communities safe by supplying the fire protection products, fabrication services, and solutions that support commercial buildings, industrial facilities, schools, hospitals, and critical infrastructure.

As an Outside Sales Representative supporting our Las Vegas Fire Protection market, you'll build relationships with contractors and customers, uncover new opportunities, and help grow our presence in the market. You'll have the backing of a local team, strong product resources, and fabrication capabilities to help you deliver complete solutions to your customers.

If you're competitive, relationship-driven, and motivated by the opportunity to grow your income along with your business, this could be a great next step.

What You'll Do

As a trusted partner to your customers, you'll manage and grow relationships while identifying opportunities to expand our business throughout the Las Vegas market.

In this role, you will:

• Develop and grow relationships with fire protection contractors, general contractors, and other industry partners
• Manage existing customer relationships while actively identifying and winning new business
• Partner with customers on upcoming projects and help connect them with the right products, services, and solutions
• Conduct customer meetings, jobsite visits, and project reviews throughout the sales cycle
• Collaborate closely with inside sales, operations, fabrication, and leadership to provide an exceptional customer experience
• Monitor construction activity, customer needs, competitive activity, and opportunities within the Las Vegas market
• Develop and execute territory plans designed to grow revenue, margin, and market share
• Manage pricing, customer expectations, project opportunities, and account performance
• Build long-term customer partnerships through responsive service, follow-through, and industry expertise

What Makes This Opportunity Different

Local Fabrication Support

Our Las Vegas branch includes Fire Protection fabrication capabilities, giving our sales team local resources to support customers and projects. The market also receives additional fabrication support from our larger Bakersfield, California operation, expanding the capabilities available to customers throughout the territory.

Opportunity to Build and Grow

This isn't just about maintaining accounts. We're looking for someone who wants to develop relationships, uncover opportunities, and help build the Las Vegas Fire Protection business.

Strong Earning Potential

This position offers a $50,000 base salary plus commission, with the potential to reach $100,000+ in total annual compensation as the territory and individual performance grow.

Your compensation has the opportunity to grow along with the business you develop.

Industry Resources and Training

Fire Protection experience is valuable, but it isn't the only path to success in this role. Core & Main has the product expertise, fabrication resources, leadership support, and training available to help the right salesperson build strong industry knowledge.

Career Growth

Outside sales can lead to opportunities across sales leadership, branch management, and other areas of the Core & Main organization. We are looking for someone interested in building both the territory and a long-term career.

What We're Looking For

Preferably, you have:

• 2+ years of outside sales, business development, account management, or contractor-facing sales experience
• A demonstrated ability to develop new business and grow customer relationships
• Strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of a sales territory
• Experience in Fire Protection or knowledge of the Fire Protection industry is preferred, but not required
• Experience in construction supply, industrial distribution, plumbing, mechanical systems, HVAC, building products, or contractor sales is also highly valued
• A willingness to learn Fire Protection products, applications, customers, and market dynamics
• A competitive, entrepreneurial mindset with a strong focus on customer service and profitable growth
