Sales Engineer

We solve noise problems. We do not sell panels.

There are two kinds of acoustical companies. Catalogs that ship boxes and hope the customer figures out the install, and engineers who measure the space, design the fix, and install it with their own crew. DDS is the second kind, and we are hiring a Sales Engineer to help us grow.

This is not a lead-reading, quote-forwarding seat. You will own projects from the first site visit through substantial completion, estimating the work, walking the site, designing against real conditions, and staying accountable until the job is signed off. You will sell premium work into a market full of cheaper, weaker options, which means your real job is to show a facility owner why the low bid costs them twice.

If you sell by solving problems rather than by discounting, this role will fit you.

DDS Acoustical Specialties was founded in 2019 by acoustics people, not generalists who added acoustics to a service list. Our leadership carries more than 45 years of combined experience in the field, and 95 percent of our installs are handled by our own crew. That matters to you as a seller. You will never have to explain away a subcontractor's mistake or a product that shipped with no support behind it.

When you tell a customer that one accountable team owns the entire process from assessment to signoff, it is true, and it is a large part of why we hold more than 50 five-star Google reviews. There is real room to grow here, and you would be joining early enough to help shape how the sales function is built.

• Identify and estimate projects, working from proven products or proposing new materials when the space calls for it.
• Get into the field to measure real conditions and design against them.
• Partner with marketing to find opportunities and build the strategy to win them.
• Train teammates on how to sell and apply acoustic materials correctly.
• Track sales performance and forecast the pipeline so we grow on purpose.

• You take full ownership and run a project end to end without being managed through it. You stay organized under pressure, hold several projects at once, and communicate clearly with customers and your own team. You put the customer's problem first, and you would rather solve it right than close it fast. You adapt when priorities and customer needs shift, and you are comfortable working in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  
  Above all, you are a forward thinker who wants to build something, not just maintain it.

• At least five years across sales or customer service, estimating, and project management.
• The ability to read construction plans and CAD drawings.
• Familiarity with a CRM such as Pipedrive or Salesforce.
• A valid driver's license and authorization to work in the United States.
• Willingness to travel regionally each week, varying with client demand.
• A bachelor's degree and Lean or continuous improvement training are pluses, not requirements.

Experience in noise control and acoustics is preferred but not required. If you bring related experience, transferable skills, and a real willingness to learn the physics, we want to hear from you. We can teach acoustics to the right seller.

Competitive salary commensurate with experience, a 401(k) with company match, health insurance, paid time off, and nine paid holidays.

• DDS Acoustical Specialties is an equal opportunity employer.
