Role Overview

In the bustling heart of Memphis, Tennessee, Cintas is on the hunt for dedicated New Account Installers ready to launch customer relationships with precision and professionalism. As a New Account Installer, you'll be the first face of Cintas for new clients, ensuring their uniforms, floor mats, restroom supplies, and other essentials are delivered, installed, and set up flawlessly. Picture this: a local restaurant in Memphis just signed on with Cintas. You've coordinated with the sales team, loaded up the company van with fresh uniforms and dispenser units, and now you're pulling up to their door on Beale Street. With your toolkit in hand, you install the bulk soap dispensers, hang the mats perfectly, and stack the linens where they need them most. The owner shakes your hand, thrilled with the seamless start. That's your day—turning sales wins into loyal, long-term partnerships.

This role demands a mix of hands-on technical skills, customer-facing charm, and the grit to handle physical work. You'll drive a DOT-regulated vehicle over 10,000 pounds GVWR, so safety and compliance are non-negotiable. But it's more than just delivery; it's about setting the gold standard for service that keeps Memphis businesses coming back to Cintas year after year. With roots in Cincinnati, Ohio, Cintas serves over a million businesses nationwide, and in Memphis, you're part of that legacy, helping eateries, factories, and offices stay Ready for the Workday.

Day in the Life

Your alarm buzzes at 5:30 AM in Memphis, Tennessee. After a quick breakfast, you're at the Cintas facility by 6:30 AM, reviewing the day's new account installs. The dispatcher hands you manifests: three stops today—a hotel on the Mississippi River, a manufacturing plant in Frayser, and a new office in East Memphis. You load the truck: crisp uniforms folded neatly, heavy floor mats, restroom dispensers, and your toolbox stocked with drills, wrenches, and plumbing fittings.

First stop: the hotel. You greet the manager, confirm the layout, and get to work. Drilling into walls for secure mounts, plumbing the soap dispensers, and arranging linens in their laundry room. By 9 AM, it's done—the manager tests the setup and beams. 'Perfect!' On to the plant. Here, it's heavier lifting: 50-pound mat rolls dragged across concrete floors, dispensers bolted into restrooms. Lunch is a quick sandwich in the truck while plotting the route via GPS. Afternoon brings the office install—lighter work, but precise placement to match their aesthetic. You chat with staff, answer questions, and ensure everything's intuitive.

Back at base by 4 PM, you log completions, note any issues for service teams, and clean the truck. End of day: satisfied customers, zero callbacks needed. Evenings might mean family time along the Wolf River or catching a Grizzlies game. It's demanding, but the rhythm of service delivery in Memphis fuels your sense of accomplishment.
