Business Development - Estimator/Project Manager
Do you have experience in estimating roofing or construction projects? We are looking for an independent contractor to develop leads and sales for metal roofing projects. Island Metals is a metal roofing supply company, providing custom made to order roofing.  You will have full flexibility to meet with roofing contractors, builders, and homeowners to generate new estimates and win bids.

This can be a rewarding career for the right person, with plenty of opportunity with unlimited sales commission potential. We have just started selling on other islands with some successful job, but for 10+ years we have been focused on just Kauai.  We have seen tremendous upside to sales on Oahu, Maui, Big Island, Lanai, Molokai as we have better pricing (saving customers hundred and in some cases thousands of dollars on a single project), and saving customer time (our competitors sometimes have 8+ weeks lead time, when we can in most cases make the materials, ship, and get to the job site in 1-2 weeks).  So, with these huge competitive advantages, this position is ripe for huge success!
