Registered Architect / Engineer Job in Cookeville 38501, Tennessee US

 Are you tired of the rat race?? Would you be interested in relocating to a smaller Tennessee community with a great quality of life? Does working for a smaller firm with world class processes interest you?  http://www.jsconstruction.com / We are a 50 year old firm with new insights and approaches. We are successful, in part, because we have been able to attract architects and engineers who are self starters and effective in building relationships with their clients. We are looking for a registered design professional  for our 50 year old family-owned construction business. This opportunity will be much different than anything else you might be considering and probably different than other positions you might have held in the past.  First, our company is a smaller company. We have 105 employees and perform most of our work within 100 miles of our office. We are one of the oldest and largest construction companies between Nashville and Knoxville in Tennessee; but not as large as some of the big city firms that perform hard bid work. I say this not as an apology, but to let you know our strategic plan is not to be the biggest, just for the sake of being the biggest, but we do want to be the best! We have a repeat client rate of over 75% each year and 99.6% of our clients say they will use us on their next project. 92.4% of our clients since 1990 have been either pleased or delighted with our performance. This year 100% fall into those categories.Second, we have a very close knit group of professionals. Should you join our firm, it would be much like owning your own business, but without the headaches of ownership. This position will be responsible for following up on leads, identifying client needs and pricing those needs using our Timberline Software. You will spend approximately 25% of your time prospecting and visiting with existing clients, 30% of your time estimating, 30% of your time in preparing and giving Power Point presentations and 15% of your time visiting job sites and coordinating with field personnel. We present our finding to the clients by means of a presentation which is tailored to the project and the client. Although you might visit jobsites with the client and with our field personnel, you would not be expected, or required, to project manage individual projects. We use Microsoft products in our office and have a very high tech environment. We also have a completely smoke free environment which adds to the quality of the workplace.Third, all of our professionals are on a base plus commission compensation package. To some this is unacceptable and too much pressure. You will be compensated in direct proportion to the profits you bring to the company. That can create good results; in that you are able to earn a very substantial income with hard work and innovation. While the position may be different from the stereotypical design professional position, it is very satisfying and can pay extremely well. Our compensation plan is based on a base plus commissions; which are a percentage of the gross margin of the projects brought to the company. No smoke and mirrors in the calculation of the commissions. The typical design professional working approximately 50 hours per week and bringing in-house only $2,500,000.00 at our average gross margin will achieve a six figure income annually, exclusive of profit sharing, bonuses and benefits. It is nearly like having your own business without the hassles of being in business. We provide support, both inside the office and outside the office to help insure your success.Fourth, we are looking for individuals with strong family values and integrity. Our family has been in the construction business in Cookeville since 1934. Our ability to stay in this one region for that long is a direct result of our business relationship being based on trust and integrity; rather than earning a fast buck. We are specifically looking for individuals with similar life goals to join with and continue to grow our family business.  If you are looking for a large firm with big city trappings, big titles and only big projects we are probably not what you are looking for.
