DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
[Southeastern US | Negotiated & Invite-Only | Federal & Institutional]
Seven Seas Construction and Development, a DBA of Southeastern Industrial Construction, LLC
Location: Hybrid, based in either: Florida Panhandle or Birmingham AL or Atlanta GA or Jackson MS Full-Time Reports to the President
Who We Are
A federal and institutional general contractor across the Southeast — USACE, NAVFAC, GSA, DoD installations, states, universities, and Fortune 500 owners, as both prime and key subcontractor. Over a quarter of a billion dollars in prime contract history, 150 federal projects delivered, $40M single / $100M aggregate bonding, CMMC Level 2 Certified, 15 years in business, runs on EOS.
The Seat
This is the keystone seat in our growth plan. You are an industry proven BD executive with a rolodex of key relationships delivering results from day 1. You own the business development pipeline, converting your existing relationships into qualified, negotiated, and invite-only opportunities. The President and Director of Operations will support high-stakes relationships, but you originate and close on your own.
Your target: $40M in sourced backlog in year one, $60M in year two, $80M by year three.
Your Numbers
You own these on the weekly Scorecard:
- 3 decision-maker meetings per week — named, logged.
- 1 new qualified contact per week — net-new to the company.
- 2 secured bid opportunities per month — negotiated or invite-only, $5-30M in size projects.
- $150M rolling qualified pipeline — ramp: $50M by month 3, $100M by month 6, $150M by month 9.
- $10M per quarter in awarded negotiated backlog — $40M by month 12.
What Success Looks Like
- 30 days: Target map built, top-25 relationships engaged, Scorecard live.
- 90 days: Consistent weekly flow of qualified opportunities; first invite-only shortlist attributable to you.
- Year one: A repeatable BD engine producing $40M in profitable invite only and negotiated backlog that does not depend on the President's personal sourcing.
Who You Are
- A proven originator. 5 years in Southeast federal/institutional construction BD with a verifiable record of sourced wins. You can name the pursuits, the decision-makers, and provide owner-side references.
- Networked and activatable. Live relationships among Southeast agencies, installations, universities, Developers, Fortune 500 companies, and super primes that you can put to work in the first 30 days.
- A hunter. Equally comfortable working a warm relationship and initiating cold outreach. You travel, you track your own numbers, you close your own loops.
- A values fit. We think big and try new things. We are team players. We make it happen. Relationships over transactions.
Compensation
On-target earnings of $200K with no ceiling. $100K-150k base salary plus an uncapped incentive paid as a percentage of gross margin on backlog you originate. Full benefits, 401(k) with match, travel and per diem covered.
A seat at the leadership table with the founder. Decisions in hours, no committees. Preferred location: Florida Panhandle or Birmingham AL or Atlanta GA or Jackson MS
