Klassen is a family company built over generations — rooted in hard work, innovation, and a commitment to create value that lasts. Since 1963, we've grown from a single truck into a trusted supplier and transportation partner across 40 states and provinces.
We believe great companies are built through understanding — understanding our customers, our products, and our people. That's why we invest in craftsmanship, reliable service, and the team members who make it all happen. From soils and composts to mulches and growing media, we transform wood residuals into dependable solutions that support the work and lives of our customers.
If you want to be part of a company where people matter, quality matters, and your work makes a difference — welcome to Klassen.
About the RoleAre you a relationship-driven sales professional who knows how to earn a customer's trust and keep it? This role is built for someone who wants to own a real book of business — protecting the accounts that matter and growing steadily from a solid foundation.
You'll own Klassen's Coastal wholesale relationships across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland — working with berry, mushroom, and nursery growers who rely on us season after season. Your first priority is defending and deepening that recurring base. From there, you'll grow share of wallet, win back lapsed accounts, and build new business through a disciplined outbound and inbound cadence.
You won't be doing it alone. You'll work with a Fulfillment Coordinator who keeps your orders flowing and covers your customers when you're away, an SDR who passes you warm qualified leads, and an Install Manager on shared accounts. Your direct leader is our Business Development Director, who provides price and volume targets, coaches you on account strategy and pricing discipline, and runs weekly 1:1s with a structured six-month ramp so you're set up for success from day one.
At Klassen, you're not just a number — your manager knows your name, and when something comes up, someone picks up the phone.
