Estimator - Comfort Advisor Fred F. Collis & Sons has been providing home energy services since 1936. We continually strive to provide our customers with superior service and quality installations by maintaining a team of professionals who care about our customers' homes as though they were their own. If this sounds like you, we want you on our team! Our team of Certified Comfort Advisors start by performing a thorough evaluation of a customer's home, focusing primarily on their existing building envelope and heating/cooling systems. They then prescribe the appropriate solutions based on their findings. These items can consist of air sealing and insulation measures, higher efficiency HVAC products, as well as indoor air quality, standby generators and other solutions to make our customers' homes more comfortable and energy efficient. We are seeking charismatic, self-starting and highly-motivated individuals with the skills and knowledge to effectively engage our customers and turn these opportunities into sold projects. This position will involve professional in-home presentations, preparation of estimates and following through to make sure the project is successful and the customer is completely satisfied. Prior in-home sales experience is beneficial, but not required. Our focus is bringing on high-character applicants, who also have outstanding communication and computer skills - we'll take care of the rest.
