Job Type
Full-time
Description
At Sunbelt Fire, we’re not just selling trucks—we’re serving those who save and protect lives. This purpose drives every relationship we build, every solution we provide, and every department we support. We are committed to serving First Responders with excellence and are seeking talented, servant-hearted individuals who want to be part of Sunbelt’s mission to glorify God in all we do.
To support our continued growth across the Southeast, we're looking to add a full-time, high-achieving Truck Sales Representative to join our team serving departments across Central and North Louisiana.
The right candidate will expand and deepen relationships with existing customers while building new partnerships to grow apparatus sales within the territory. This is a strategic sales role for someone who is a strong problem solver, driven to grow, and wants to be part of a winning team that lives by our core values.
This is not an 8:00–5:00 job. Some days you will be home early and some days late. You will be serving everyday heroes who save and protect lives—many of whom are volunteers with full-time jobs. Being flexible, adapting to their schedules, and having a servant’s heart are key to success in this role.
