Kitchen & Bath Design Consultant (Project Manager)

Better Living is seeking a Kitchen & Bath Design Consultant (Project Manager) for our premier Design Center at 3450 Berkmar Drive. For over 130 years, Better Living has been Central Virginia’s trusted partner for building materials and custom cabinetry. We are looking for a motivated individual to join our team who can translate a client’s vision into a reality, managing both the sales relationship and the technical execution of the project.
 

This isn’t just a showroom sales role, it’s a career for someone who loves to be involved in every stage of a project. You will be the primary point of contact for homeowners and contractors, guiding them through the process of designing their dream kitchen or bath.

Key Responsibilities:

• Consultative Sales: Meet with clients in our Berkmar Showroom to review floor plans and discuss their aesthetic and functional needs.
• Technical Design: Utilize our CAD system to create detailed kitchen and bath layouts. (We provide training on our software)
• Collaboration: Work closely with clients to iterate on designs, make adjustments, and ensure they are genuinely excited about the final product.
• Project Management: Coordinate the logistics of every sale, including scheduling deliveries and overseeing the installation process.
• Quality Assurance: Follow up with clients post-installation to ensure a high-quality finished product and 100% satisfaction.

Schedule & Location:

• Hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
• Location: In-person at our Berkmar Showroom in Charlottesville, VA.

Compensation & Benefits:

• We offer a stable base with high-earning potential:
• Starting Rate: $18.00/hour + Commissions.
• Annual Potential: Successful representatives in this role typically earn between $60,000 and $100,000 based on sales volume.
• Stable Growth: Join a family-owned company that has been a staple of the Charlottesville community since 1893.
• A full benefit package including health, retirement, and profit sharing. 

 Desired Skills:

• Construction Expertise: A background in construction is highly preferred. We find that individuals with Job Superintendent experience excel in this role because they understand how cabinetry fits into the larger scope of a build.
• Communication Skills: The ability to build rapport with clients while clearly communicating timelines and expectations with installers.
• Detail Oriented: You have a knack for reading floor plans and spotting potential issues before they reach the job site.
• Eagerness to Learn: While CAD experience is a plus, it is not required. We are looking for the right person with a strong work ethic and the ability to learn new technology.
