Contractor & Builder Sales Specialist
Wood Shed Lumber & Hardware Supply
Pay Based on Experience
Put Your Industry Experience to Work
If you’ve spent years in construction, lumber and building materials, contractor sales, estimating, or a related field, you already know contractors need more than someone who can take an order.
They need someone who understands the project, knows the products, catches details before they become problems, and follows through.
Wood Shed Lumber & Hardware Supply is looking for an experienced Contractor & Builder Sales Specialist to build lasting relationships with contractors, builders, and remodelers in our market.
We are looking for someone who understands the building industry and wants a long-term career where experience, relationships, and good judgment matter.
What You’ll Do
- Build and strengthen relationships with contractors, builders, remodelers, and other professional customers
- Meet with customers and visit job sites to discuss current and upcoming projects
- Review plans, material lists, and project requirements
- Prepare or assist with material takeoffs and accurate project quotes
- Recommend lumber, building materials, hardware, and other products that fit the project
- Follow up on quotes, orders, deliveries, and customer questions
- Coordinate with inside sales, purchasing, yard, and delivery teams to keep projects moving
- Resolve problems promptly and keep customers informed
- Maintain customer, quote, and sales information
- Continually work to grow your customer base and sales
What We’re Looking For (candidates must have experience in one or more of the following):
- Lumber and building materials
- Contractor or outside sales
- Residential or light commercial construction
- Building material estimating or material takeoffs
- Construction project management
- Working with builders, remodelers, or professional contractors
You should be comfortable talking with experienced contractors about their projects, understanding what they are trying to accomplish, and helping determine the materials they need.
Experience reading plans, developing estimates, preparing quotes, or completing material takeoffs is strongly preferred.
We’re also looking for someone who:
- Keeps their word and follows through
- Understands that relationships drive contractor business
- Can manage multiple customers and projects without constant supervision
- Communicates clearly and professionally
- Takes ownership when there is a problem
- Is organized, dependable, and uses good judgment
A Role Where Experience Is Valued
At Wood Shed, we value industry knowledge and real-world experience.
We’re not looking for someone to memorize a sales script. We want someone who can sit across from a contractor or builder, understand the project being discussed, ask the right questions, and become a trusted resource.
Wood Shed Lumber & Hardware Supply is a locally owned company with multiple locations throughout Missouri. We have built our business by serving our communities, taking care of our customers, and developing long-term relationships.
If you’ve built years of knowledge in this industry and are looking for a place where you can use that experience, build lasting customer relationships, and continue growing your career, we’d like to talk with you.
If you know the building industry and want to be the person contractors and builders call first, apply today.

Growing Our Roots
The WOOD SHED Lumber & Hardware Supply has teamed up as a business partner with the local elementary classroom. The children and the team enjoy the classroom visits by sharing a great story and conversation. These amazing children bless us beyond measures by showering us with thoughtful thank you cards and artwork. We love being in the classroom!
The Eiserer Family
It's all hands on deck in the store or in the community. Our little family grew to five just after purchasing the business and couldn't be more excited to learn and grow together. For years Porter, Cecily and Novah assist in the family business by sharing our story on KMZU and KRLI radio, putting up the truck orders, and assisting customers. In 2021 the Eiserer family grew to six with a second son, Marlo.
Our Customers are the Best Customers
The WOOD SHED team enjoys entertaining our customers every chance we can. Fish Fry, Chilli & Cinnamon Rolls, Traeger grilled chicken, deer, or brisket. You never know when the Traeger grill just might be smokin'.
Without our customers, our growth as a business wouldn't be possible: thank you!
In 2021, Wood Shed expanded to Richmond and Concordia, MO with the purchase of the Derstler Lumber businesses. The growth allows for more opportunities of growth for its employees. It also opened the business up for better buying opportunities which helps better serve the communities.
In 2023, Wood Shed will be expanding to Cameron and Warrensburg, MO. The need to find more like minded home improvement folks to help serve our customers has arrived. What is it you are looking for in your next career move, because we believe we've got a good thing going on over at Wood Shed.
