Account Manager Position
We do not currently have an Account Manager position available. Please submit an application to be considered for future open roles.
This is a fantastic entry-level position for a recent college graduate or someone looking for a career change. Portland Bolt is a manufacturer of large, nonstandard anchor bolts and construction fasteners.
This multi-faceted job includes account management, cost estimating, customer service, sales, and other related duties. Our account managers primarily field inbound calls and emails from an established customer base or prospective customers.
The successful candidate for this position will not need any previous account management, sales, or fastener experience, just a good attitude and a commitment to learning the specialized skills required to succeed in this fast-paced environment. The successful candidate will join 10 other salaried account managers in an environment that promotes teamwork and strives to achieve overall company success far more than a commissioned environment does.
Bilingual (Spanish) candidates are encouraged to apply as we are developing an increased customer base in Latin American countries. However, the ability to speak Spanish is by no means a requirement for this position.
The estimating aspect of this position requires basic math skills and a desire to work with numbers. Since we manufacture nonstandard bolts, our account managers calculate the costs of the bolts we manufacture with the assistance of specialized software. Although we are not performing high-level calculations, the ability to convert feet to inches, fractions to decimals, decimals to fractions, calculate profit margins, and perform basic multiplication and division is a necessity.
Duties

- Estimating the costs associated with manufacturing bolts.
- Assigning appropriate profit margins to estimates.
- Selling bolts and fasteners primarily via the telephone to an established customer base made up of contractors, steel fabricators, and other construction-related companies.
