Summary / Objective

The Regional Account Executive (RAE) is a driven hunter responsible for building new business and expanding Rabine Mechanical’s footprint across targeted markets. This role is focused on prospecting, outreach, and relationship creation—not just account maintenance.

Success will be measured by pipeline creation, booked revenue, and CRM-documented sales activity.

The RAE will focus on selling HVAC maintenance agreements, service and repair programs, capital replacements, and efficiency upgrades while ensuring customers receive best-in-class support and communication from the Rabine Mechanical team.
