We're a hands-on company that values hard work, dependability, positivity, respect, and teamwork.

We believe in supporting our people, helping them grow, and creating an environment where the right person can build a long-term career. We're now looking for the next key person to join our growing team and help us take the business to the next level.


Join a Growing Pittsburgh Locksmith Company

This is an in-office sales and operations role where you'll work directly with customers and technicians to help close service calls, coordinate jobs, handle pricing questions, and keep the operation moving.

  • Positive and respectful
  • Dependable and punctual
  • Comfortable multitasking in a fast-paced environment
  • Problem solver who can think on their feet
  • Comfortable handling customer objections
  • Willing and able to learn a new industry
  • Takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do

Locksmith experience is not required—we're willing to train the right person who has the right attitude and aptitude.

Previous experience in sales, customer service, dispatch, call centers, automotive, or home services is a plus, but it is not required.
