Full job description
Our client is seeking an ambitious and relationship-focused Construction Business Development Specialist to help expand its residential and commercial customer base throughout New England.

The successful candidate will receive training, industry guidance, and the support of an established company with a strong reputation and loyal customer base.
Responsibilities

- Partner with the estimating and operations teams to ensure opportunities are properly evaluated and quoted.
- Follow up on proposals and maintain communication with prospective customers throughout the decision-making process.
- Help convert new opportunities into long-term customer relationships and recurring business.
- Identify opportunities to introduce additional services to existing customers.
- Maintain an organized pipeline of prospects, estimates, follow-ups, and awarded projects.
- Learn the client's trades, services, terminology, and project processes.
- Represent the company professionally while building trust with customers and industry partners.
- Participate in training and apply proven business-development techniques provided by company leadership.
Compensation Structure
The compensation plan is designed to reward both immediate activity and long-term relationship development:
- $40k - $60k annual base salary.
- Incentive for each qualified new measurement appointment or project takeoff secured.
- Commission for each resulting project sold, depending on project size.
- Additional commissions when new customers award future projects.
- Potential commissions for introducing new services or trades to existing customers.
Why Join?
- Join an established, growing construction company with a strong reputation.
- Receive hands-on training and guidance from experienced construction professionals.
- Represent multiple in-demand trades, including drywall, plaster, painting, insulation, metal framing, and flooring.
- Pursue a significant volume of available residential and commercial opportunities.
- Earn commissions on both new customers and qualifying repeat business.
- Build a customer base that can generate increasing residual income over time.
- Create a long-term career path with substantial growth and earning potential.
