About Us: 

Cooper Equipment Rentals is a new and growing division of Cooper Tacia General Contracting.

The Opportunity: 

We are seeking a Business Development Manager (Outside Sales Representative) who is results-driven, client-focused, and eager to grow with us.

  • Guaranteed income + unlimited earning potential – earn a steady base while building your pipeline, then unlock commissions with no cap. 
  • Career growth opportunities – as one of the first hires in this company, you’ll have the chance to help shape our strategy and grow with the business.  
  • Supportive culture – we value integrity, hard work, and building lasting relationships—with our clients and each other. 
 

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Develop and execute territory sales plans to achieve goals and expand market share. 
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships to drive repeat business and satisfaction. 
  • Learn and maintain a thorough understanding of our products, services, and pricing. 
  • Identify and qualify new sales opportunities using CRM tools, networking, and outreach. 
  • Conduct product presentations and provide training sessions for customers. 
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure smooth project execution and customer support. 
  • Contribute ideas and initiative as we build a new, fast-growing division. 
Requirements: 

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience preferred. 
  • 3–5 years of sales experience is ideal, but we will train motivated candidates with transferable skills. 
  • Knowledge of construction equipment or related industries is a plus. 
  • Strong negotiation and customer service skills.

  • Valid driver’s license required. 
Skills:  

  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to effectively communicate with customers 
  • Attention to detail with a strong safety mindset 
  • Advanced computer skills  
  • Ability to work effectively across organizational boundaries 
 

Employment Type: Full-time

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
