  • Lead client presentations and confidently communicate with stakeholders at all levels
  • Travel nationally to meet clients, attend industry events, and support bid efforts
  • Play a key role in expanding market share and driving top-line growth

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR

  • 7 years of business development, sales, or client-facing experience in industrial construction
  • Strong exposure to EPC-driven projects within power, petrochemical, or related markets
  • Experience supporting proposals, estimating, and large project pursuits
  • Proven ability to build relationships and influence decision-makers
  • Highly self-motivated, organized, and results-driven
  • Comfortable operating with autonomy and accountability
  • Strong communicator with polished presentation skills

Bonus: Experience with refractory, fireproofing, scaffolding, insulation, coatings, or specialty mechanical services.
