About ForgeOps

ForgeOps is a construction operations platform helping contractors streamline estimating, project management, field operations, reporting, and communication.

We're building a modern alternative to legacy construction software by creating technology that is powerful, intuitive, and designed specifically for growing construction companies.

As an early-stage startup, we're looking for our first SDR to help build our outbound sales engine and play a key role in our growth.

The Opportunity

This is not a typical SDR role.

We're looking for someone who wants to get in early, help shape a company, and grow alongside the business.

You'll work directly with the founders to generate opportunities, refine messaging, build relationships in the construction industry, and help establish ForgeOps as a leader in construction technology.

If you're entrepreneurial, competitive, and excited about startup environments, this could be an opportunity to make a significant impact.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Wants to build something from the ground up
• Enjoys connecting with people
• Doesn't need someone looking over their shoulder
• Is motivated by results and earning potential
• Wants direct access to company founders
• Believes technology can improve the construction industry

Why Join ForgeOps?

• Be one of the first sales hires
• Work directly with company leadership
• Help shape our sales strategy
• Unlimited earning potential
• Fast growth opportunities
• Potential path to leadership as the company scales
