Our Client is growing and creating a new, senior-level role focused on building long-term partnerships and uncovering early-stage construction and infrastructure opportunities across the Southeast.

This position is designed for a relationship-first business development professional who knows how work actually gets done in construction, through trust, credibility, and being in the right rooms early.

This is not a cold-calling or bid-chasing role. The focus is on proactive market engagement, off-market opportunity identification, and positioning our client as a preferred partner for large contractors, municipalities, and infrastructure stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

• Build and nurture strategic relationships with:
• Large general contractors
• Engineering and development firms
• Municipal and regional decision-makers
• Identify and influence construction opportunities before they are publicly bid
• Develop a forward-looking pipeline (12–24 months) aligned with long-term growth goals
• Position the company for MSAs, preferred vendor relationships, and repeat work
• Represent the organization at industry events, community forums, and relationship-driven settings
• Partner closely with estimating, engineering, and operations teams to support pursuits

What We’re Looking For

• 5 years of business development experience in construction or adjacent industries
• Proven success securing large, multi-year, multi-million-dollar projects
• An active professional network within construction, civil, infrastructure, aggregates, environmental services, or similar sectors
• Strong executive presence and natural relationship-building ability
• Comfortable operating in blue-collar, relationship-driven environments
• Willingness to travel regionally throughout the Southeast

Backgrounds in construction services, aggregates, oil & gas services, civil development, or infrastructure-adjacent work are highly valued.

What This Role Is (and Is Not)

This role is:

• Relationship-driven
• Strategic and long-cycle
• Built for a market-facing “hunter” who earns trust

This role is not:

• A junior sales or inside BD role
• A commission-only position
• A reactive, RFP-only function

Compensation & Support

• Competitive base salary: $134,000–$160,000 (based on experience)
• Annual company incentive bonus (5–10%)
• Vehicle lease program and travel support
• Company credit card for client entertainment and expenses
• Strong benefits package including 401(k)
• Remote flexibility with expectation of regular market presence

Why This Opportunity

This is a foundational hire with real visibility and impact. The right person will help shape how the organization shows up in the construction and infrastructure market for years to come.
