Why This Role Exists

Read this part carefully, because it is the whole job.

Spokane is a new market for us. There is no established route here, no customer list waiting for you, and no one ahead of you to hand you work. You are the first person in this seat, and you are here to build the market.

That means this is a sales job and a technician job at the same time. You will knock on doors, walk into restaurants and commercial kitchens, build relationships with property managers and building owners, and then go do the work you sold. Both halves matter, and neither one covers for the other.

We are paying for that risk and that effort. The compensation plan below gives you an uncapped share of the labor revenue you generate, because in a new market your income should track what you actually build.

How this market is set up

Our office for this market is in St. Maries, Idaho, with inventory storage in the Spokane and Post Falls area so you can restock without a long drive. Your territory covers all of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, and you will report to the Spokane Division Manager.

Requirements

About the Role

This is a field-based, hands‑on seller-doer seat. You will service portable fire extinguishers and pre‑engineered kitchen wet chemical suppression systems — inspecting, testing, maintaining, repairing, and installing — and you will spend a meaningful part of each week developing new business.

You will be in front of customers constantly, often as the only person from our company they see all year. You own that relationship and the revenue that comes from it.

If you have run your own route and wished you were paid for the business you brought in, this is that job.

What You’ll Do — Technical

• Inspect, test, maintain, repair, and install portable fire extinguishers in accordance with NFPA 10 and applicable local codes
