Job description

Sales hunter looking for your next opportunity? Whether you're starting your career or you're an experienced sales professional, this is an opportunity to build a strong B2B sales career with significant upside — no HVAC experience required.

Encon has been serving commercial customers since 1969, and we're continuing to grow our business development team. We're looking for someone who enjoys opening doors, meeting new people, developing relationships, and winning new business. You may be a recent graduate with demonstrated sales potential or a seasoned professional with a track record of developing new accounts. We'll teach you the technical side of HVAC — you bring the drive, confidence, and people skills.

This position is based out of our Milford office and serves the New Haven County market.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

This is a new-business development role. You'll prospect, meet with business owners and senior decision-makers, survey commercial facilities, develop proposals, and close customized HVAC maintenance programs designed around the needs of your customers and industry. You'll work with your sales manager to develop a targeted list of approximately 500–800 qualified properties and then take ownership of developing that market. You'll have the autonomy to organize your territory, build relationships, and grow your book of business. Once you close the business, our operations team takes it from there — your job is to hunt, develop relationships, and win new business.

Own an Industry Sector

Each member of our business development team is assigned an industry sector, allowing you to develop specialized knowledge, relationships, and a professional network within your market. If you already have experience or established relationships within one of these industries, we'd like to hear from you.

• Autonomy to run your territory and organize your business development activity
