Position Overview

Are you a high-energy professional with an eye for design and a passion for seeing projects come to life? Better Living, Inc. is looking for a Design & Sales Consultant to join our premier Cabinet Center on Berkmar Drive in Charlottesville, VA.

For over 130 years, we have been Central Virginia’s leader in building materials. We are looking for a motivated, tech-savvy individual who can bridge the gap between a client’s vision and a finished kitchen or bath. This isn’t a passive showroom role; it’s an active, hands-on position for someone who thrives on building relationships and managing the details of a project from start to finish.

Key Responsibilities

• Meet with homeowners and contractors in our state-of-the-art showroom to turn floor plans into functional, beautiful living spaces.
• Use our CAD-based design software to create 3D kitchen and bath layouts. (We provide full training on our specific software).
• Guide customers through the selection of materials, finishes, and hardware, ensuring a seamless and exciting experience.
• Take ownership of your orders by coordinating delivery schedules and staying in sync with installers to ensure a smooth project flow.
• Follow up at the job site or via phone post-installation to ensure our standard of 100% customer satisfaction is met.

Compensation & Benefits

• A competitive rate of $25.00/hour, providing financial stability without the stress of commission-only structures.
• Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage.
• 401(k) retirement plan and profit-sharing opportunities with company matching.
• Join a locally-owned, family-oriented company that values authentic self-expression and professional growth.

Why Better Living?

We’ve been a staple of the Charlottesville community since 1893. We offer the stability of a century-old company with the energy of a modern design firm. If you’re ready to build your career with a team that values your personality and your hard work, we want to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For

• You are a self-starter who enjoys a fast-paced environment and isn't afraid to take initiative.
• You are comfortable learning new software and using digital tools to present designs and manage workflows.
• You can spot a measurement error on a floor plan before it becomes a problem on the job site.
• You can talk shop with a contractor and talk style with a homeowner, maintaining a professional and approachable vibe.
