Service Sales - Akron

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Commercial HVAC Service Sales Representative is a strategic, relationship-first business development role responsible for growing MOAC’s service revenue across Central and Northeast Ohio. Backed by more than 55 years of technical credibility and a service team known for doing the work right, this position is built for a sales professional who leads with expertise and earns long-term client loyalty through trust — not transaction.

Preventive and predictive maintenance (PM) contract sales are the foundation of this role. The position also encompasses service repair, capital improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, sustainability and green initiatives, tenant improvements, and mechanical equipment replacements. This is a full-scope commercial service sales role for a candidate who understands that the best client relationships are built over time — and that a well-served client is the best sales tool in the business.
