At Mid-Ohio Air Conditioning it is our mission to provide customers with professional, value based, relational services tailored to each specific need. We provide preventive maintenance, equipment replacement, tenant build out, service, and design-build services.

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.

• Build and maintain trusted relationships with facility managers, property managers, building owners, engineers of record, and procurement decision-makers
• Represent MOAC at industry events, trade associations, and local business networks to expand brand visibility and generate qualified referrals

• Collaborate with the Director of Service, Senior Project Managers, and Estimating to develop scopes and pricing for capital-range or complex multi-trade opportunities
• Leverage MOAC's technical depth, design-build capability, 55-year track record, and service team quality as competitive differentiators in every proposal and client conversation
