The Ready-Mix Sales Representative role at CalPortland is a critical position responsible for managing all sales and sales-related activities within an assigned territory.

This position presents an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the company's sales objectives by consistently meeting or exceeding new and retention sales volume goals.

In this role, the sales representative must possess strong communication and negotiation skills to work effectively with decision makers and business owners who select concrete suppliers. They will maintain a detailed list of target customers, monitor market trends—both nationally and locally—and analyze competitive information to inform sales strategies. The sales professional will also aid in marketing initiatives and maintain accurate sales documentation and reports, ensuring alignment with company policies and ethical standards. The position might also require occasional participation in trade associations, economic development groups, and industry-related events to strengthen CalPortland’s presence in the market.

The compensation for the Ready-Mix Sales Representative role ranges from $85,000 to $95,000 annually, depending on experience (DOE). The benefits package includes low-cost medical, dental, and vision insurance—even for family coverage—company-paid life and disability insurance, paid time off including sick leave, vacation, and holidays, as well as retirement plans like a 401k or company-funded pension program. Additional support services such as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and voluntary benefits provide employees with a broad spectrum of health and financial resources. This employment opportunity is ideal for sales professionals with relevant industry experience seeking a rewarding career with a respected company that values both performance and employee satisfaction.
