Its a field-based position built around site surveys target account development and long-term customer partnerships. Its not a high-pressure cold-call-driven sales seat and it isnt designed to be one.Were looking for someone who is organized curious and comfortable with technology and who wants to build a durable book of business over several years rather than chase short-term wins. Prior fire and life safety experience is helpful but not required. We will teach you the technical side. What we cant teach is the work ethic attention to detail and a genuine interest in solving customer problems.If that describes how you work the rest of this posting walks through what the role looks like how youll be developed and how youll be paid.One thing worth understanding up front our work is largely code-driven and compliance-based. Fire and life safety inspections arent an emotional or discretionary purchase. They are mandated recurring and essential to keeping buildings and people safe. That makes this role meaningfully different from sales positions tied to economic cycles or discretionary spending.What youll actually doThe IMA role is the front end of how Grunau Fire within the DU Family of Companies and our parent APi Group grows our inspection business. You wont be cold-pitching strangers all day. Youll beSurveying customer sites in detail - Walking facilities identifying every fire and life safety system and device capturing counts taking photos and cataloging equipment so our inspectors and administrators can deliver flawlessly.Owning your CRM - Entering customer data opportunities and site information in real time using the Microsoft Dynamics mobile app. The most successful people in this role treat CRM as a tool that makes their day easier not a task they dread.Building a target account list and showing up monthly - Youll develop ~10 strategic accounts with input from your branch leader and your Corporate Inspection Sales Leader CISL then visit each one in person every month to build the relationship over time. This is a long game not a sprint.Writing and delivering professional proposals in person - Following up consistently until the agreement is signed - ideally as multi-year inspection agreements.Hitting clear measurable goals - Annual new inspection sales full contract value multi-year and three new monitoring accounts per month.Joining and getting active in an industry association BOMA IFMA NAIOP ASHE or a local equivalent aligned to the vertical market that works best for your branch. For this role we are particularly focused on the Education vertical market.Your first 90 days - what you can expect from usWe dont throw new IMAs in the deep end. Your first 30 days are structuredWeeks 1-2 Ride along with our inspectors on every type of system we service - wetdry sprinkler fire alarm extinguishers kitchen hood fire pump special hazards. Youre not expected to sell. Youre expected to learn ask questions take pictures and start practicing site surveys.Week 3 Internal interviews with everyone in the branch. Thats inspectors project managers administrators service teams. This helps you understand how the whole operation works and who youll be partnering with.Week 4 More ride-alongs to close any gaps then you test out by completing solo site surveys reviewed by inspectors and your department leader.Day 30 Formal onboarding in Minneapolis at APi Headquarters with other IMAs from across the country. This covers program fundamentals the why behind every requirement and the tools that make successful IMAs successful.Day 60 Youll present a living business plan to your CISL and branch leadership covering your target accounts vertical market strategy and SMART growth strategies.Months 2-6 Youll be working the plan - making monthly visits to your target accounts completing site surveys writing proposals building your CRM pipeline and meeting with your CISL each month for a business review covering performance forecast target accounts and any support you need. This is when the role really starts to take shape.Six months in Youll attend a refresher at the APi Group learning center in Minnesota with IMA peers from sister operating companies across North America. Its a chance to share whats working and steal ideas from people doing the same job in different markets.Youll have monthly business reviews with your CISL for as long as youre in the role plus weekly check-ins during your first 30 to 60 days. The typical ramp-up to full ROI is 10 to 18 months and we treat it that way.Compensation - how it actually worksYour base salary is 60000. Thats your foundation and its yours regardless of where your pipeline stands in any given month.The incentive side is where the role gets interesting and where its different from most sales jobs. Incentive is earned as inspections are performed and invoiced not when a contract is signed. That distinction mattersSign a one-year agreement earn incentive when that inspection is completed.Sign a three- or five-year agreement earn incentive every year as each scheduled inspection is performed over the life of the contract.Build a book of multi-year accounts your incentive income compounds every year those customers inspections come due without you having to resell them.In practical terms year one will look mostly like base salary while your book of business is being built. By years two and three as multi-year agreements youve sold are being performed your total compensation grows meaningfully. The plan is intentionally designed so that building the right way with quality customers multi-year agreements organized CRM data it pays you more over time not just more right now.To keep the plan fair performance thresholds are waived for your first two years on the program so youre not penalized for being new.We dont want someone chasing signatures. We want someone who cares whether the inspection actually gets done right.Ownership - you can own a piece of what youre buildingTwo programs back this upEmployee Stock Purchase Plan ESPP - Buy APi Group stock NYSE APG at a discount through payroll deduction after six months on the job.Profit Sharing - Once youve been with us a year the company contributes APG stock to your retirement account each spring tied to how the business performs. You dont pay anything in. Its funded by us.Together ESPP and Profit Sharing turn a long-tenured career into a genuine ownership position. For someone who wants to build something not just clock in that alignment matters.Who we think will thriveYoure naturally organized. You time-block your week you finish what you start and you keep your own systems clean.Youre a learner. You ask how does that work and why without ego. NFPA codes panel types riser rooms etc. You want to understand them not just sell around them.Youre tech-savvy. CRM mobile apps Power BI LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Microsoft 365 are tools not obstacles. Youll use talk-to-text in your vehicle to update notes the same hour you finish a meeting.Youre a relationship-builder not a closer. Youd rather earn ten loyal multi-year partners than win twenty one-off contracts.You want to build something. The IMAs who exceed their goals and win milestone awards arent the loudest in the room.
