Trail Appliances is the leading independent appliance retailer in Western Canada. We’re a fast-growing company with over 500 employees in British Columbia, spread out over 10 showrooms, 3 Outlet Centres, 3 distribution centres, and 4 offices in BC's major markets. Join our team of trailblazers!
Our core values:
- Integrity – We do what’s right, even when no one is looking.
- Improvement – We do it well. Then we do it better.
- Caring – We put ourselves in others’ shoes.
- Authenticity – We like people, not pretense.
- Determination – We kick down walls.
If you’re energized by long-term relationships, complex projects, and being a trusted partner to interior designers — keep reading.
Trail Appliances’ Designer Sales team is a specialized, relationship-driven group that works closely with the design and build community across the Lower Mainland. This role is about credibility, follow-through, and ownership, not transactional selling or quick wins.
Who This Role Is For
- Prefer long-cycle, trust-based relationships over rapid, transactional sales
- Enjoy managing multiple moving parts and solving problems as they arise
- Are commercially minded but relationship-first
- Take ownership and follow things through — even when it’s uncomfortable
- Communicate clearly and professionally with designers, clients, and internal teams
- Stay organized and calm in environments where details matter
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Designer Relationships & Business Development
- Build and maintain long-term relationships with interior designers, builders, and trade partners
- Become a trusted extension of your designers’ businesses — someone they rely on for clarity, responsiveness, and solutions
- Grow and manage a portfolio of active design relationships over time
Project-Based Sales & Specification
- Support appliance selection and specification for custom homes and renovations.
- Manage projects from early planning through order placement, delivery, and post-sale follow-up
- Translate design intent, technical requirements, and budgets into accurate, well-structured orders
Coordination & Problem Solving
- Work cross-functionally with logistics, service, purchasing, and admin teams to move projects forward
- Anticipate challenges related to lead times, changes, and installation constraints
- Proactively communicate, course-correct, and keep projects on track
Brand & Community Engagement
- Represent Trail Appliances as a professional, reliable partner in the design community
- Participate in curated designer events, learning sessions, and industry initiatives
- Contribute to a team culture that values collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement
What This Role Is Not
- Not a role where problems get handed off to someone else
- Not suited for someone who needs rigid structure or constant direction
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in sales, design, construction, appliances, or a related industry
- Prior experience working with interior designers, builders, or trade professionals is a strong asset
- Comfort managing detailed orders, systems, and documentation
- Strong communication, organization, and follow-through
- Resilience and adaptability in a fast-moving, project-based environment
Why Join Trail’s Designer Sales Team
- Be part of a highly respected Designer Sales group with deep roots in the design community
- Work with premium appliance brands and best-in-class showroom environments
- Leadership that values trust, autonomy, and accountability
- Real relationship depth and long-term career growth
