About us

Our client is an established construction organization with a strong reputation and an impressive track record of delivering quality projects for its clients. Historically, business development has been driven directly by the owner, who has built the company's network and client relationships from the ground up. As the company continues to grow, they are now creating their first dedicated Business Development role. This is not an account-management position. Our client is looking for a true business development professional who knows how to hunt for new opportunities, build relationships from scratch, get in front of decision-makers, and ultimately win new business. The person stepping into this role will have the opportunity to build the company's formal business development strategy and create a repeatable pipeline of new opportunities. You'll be responsible for identifying prospective clients and projects, developing relationships, getting the company in front of the right people, and turning those relationships into real opportunities for the construction team. In short: the business already knows how to build. They need someone who can help build the business.

WHY JOIN US?

This is a unique opportunity for a Business Development professional who wants more than another sales territory and a stack of existing accounts. You'll be joining at the ground floor of a new function and will have the opportunity to make the role your own. You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Build and own a new business development pipeline
• Identify and pursue entirely new clients and markets
• Develop relationships with owners, developers, architects, brokers, and other key decision-makers
• Research upcoming commercial construction opportunities
• Identify projects before they hit the broader market
• Generate new leads and convert them into qualified opportunities
• Set meetings and create relationships with prospective clients
• Represent the company at industry events, networking opportunities, and client meetings
• Develop strategies for entering new markets and expanding the company's reach
• Work directly with company leadership on business development strategy
• Help establish processes, systems, and metrics for the company's BD function
• Collaborate with estimating and operations teams to turn opportunities into successful pursuits
• Track opportunities from initial contact through award
• Have a direct and measurable impact on company growth

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the hunt — finding the opportunity that nobody else has found yet, getting the meeting that wasn't already on the calendar, and turning a cold introduction into a new project. You won't be inheriting a book of business and being asked to maintain it. You'll be building the book.
