Inside Sales​/Estimator

Centergy is a leading Manufacturer's Representative in the Commercial/Industrial HVAC equipment industry, with a specialized Venting & Mechanical Draft Division supporting boiler and water-heater venting, mechanical draft systems, generator exhaust, grease duct, and engineered stack applications. The Inside Sales/Estimator will be a dedicated member of Centergy's Venting Division providing support throughout the sales and project lifecycle.

The primary purpose of this role is to take ownership of the detailed, office-based work required to move venting opportunities from bid request through project completion. The position will focus initially on bid and specification review, estimating, quote preparation, inside sales support, and project coordination. By managing these responsibilities with speed, accuracy, and consistent follow-through, this role will expand the Venting Division's capacity and allow senior technical sales staff to spend more time developing customers, pursuing opportunities, and providing high-value technical support in the field.

This person will work closely with the two Mechanical Division estimators as part of a growing, collaborative Estimating Department. While the department is currently focused primarily on estimating, its responsibilities are expected to expand over time to include inside sales and post-sale functions such as submittals, order entry, customer service, and project support. The successful candidate should be highly organized, technically curious, service-minded, and comfortable managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced team environment.
