Business Development Representative – Commercial Painting

About the Role

CertaPro Painters is seeking a Business Development Representative to help expand our commercial painting presence throughout the Chicagoland area. This is a relationship-driven role — part sales, part networking, and part territory development. You’ll build awareness with property managers, facility directors, schools, HOAs, and business owners, helping open doors for our estimating team to bid and win new projects.

If you’re proactive, confident with people, and motivated by seeing your outreach turn into measurable growth, this is a great opportunity to join one of Chicagoland’s most trusted painting companies — where top performers earn $110,000+ annually and build long-term careers.

Build and maintain relationships with property managers, facility directors, HOAs, and business owners.

Conduct outreach campaigns through calls, emails, social media, and in-person visits.

Represent CertaPro Painters at business and community events to increase visibility and brand awareness.

Partner with our estimating and production teams to ensure a smooth client experience.

Track and manage all outreach activity in our CRM.

What You’ll Bring

1–3 years of business development, B2B sales, or marketing experience preferred (construction, painting, or service industry background a plus).

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Highly self-motivated and organized — able to manage your outreach and schedule independently.

Tech-friendly and adaptable (CRM, Microsoft Office, mobile tools).

Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for local and regional travel.

$60,000–$90,000 total earnings (base + commission)

High performers earn $110,000+ annually
