Job description

Tarkett is looking for a Flooring Installation Expert and Trainer to join our talented team in Texas. You'll be the technical expert customers trust on‑site, the trainer who certifies the next generation of installers, and the go‑to problem solver when a flooring installation doesn't go as planned — with the freedom of a job that’s never (seldom) behind a desk. You'll investigate claims, install and demo premium soft‑surface products (POWERBOND, broadloom, carpet tile) and run hands‑on certification exams for installers across the country. If you like variety, autonomy, and being the expert in the room, this position is for you.

What this role will do:

• Solve real problems — by phone, email, and in person, for customers across product, installation, site conditions, and maintenance.

• Install and demo — soft‑surface products at training sessions, trade shows, mock‑ups, and field tests.
• Run certification training — teach, test, and certify installers in POWERBOND and broadloom techniques.
• Support the sales team — traveling with Account Executives on customer visits, providing technical credibility on sales calls (50–75% of your time).

Experience & Skills:
