Associate Account Manager

McKinstry is innovating the waste and climate harm out of the built environment and creating lasting impact. Together, we’re building a thriving planet.

Buildings are a leading contributor to the climate crisis, generating nearly 40% of total global energy-related carbon emissions. We’re making a lasting impact on our industry and within our communities by addressing the climate, affordability and equity crises through:

renewables and energy services

engineering and design

construction and facility services

To get where we’re going, we need big thinkers, problem solvers and collaborative mindsets. Does that sound like you?

At McKinstry, we are committed to delivering an exceptional client experience while creating meaningful opportunities for our employees to learn, grow, and advance. We are seeking an Associate Account Manager to join our Service Division in Seattle, WA, supporting our Western Washington Mobile Service team. This role offers the opportunity to build a strong foundation in account management, client service, and sales within a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

You’ll support a portfolio of “house” accounts—smaller, high-volume clients—serving as a key point of contact for day-to-day requests, renewals, and service needs related to preventative maintenance programs (HVAC, plumbing, and building systems). The work is dynamic and provides direct exposure to client interaction, problem-solving, and account coordination.

This role is designed as a development pathway, offering hands-on experience, mentorship, and close partnership with Account Managers and Account Executives. You’ll build core skills in managing client relationships while learning how sales and operations teams work together to deliver a strong client experience.

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, organized, and comfortable engaging with clients—someone who takes initiative, follows through, and is motivated to grow within a client-facing, sales-oriented career path.

This role is based in Seattle, WA and operates on a hybrid work schedule.
