About the Role

DBD Westcoast Construction is seeking a motivated and results-driven Business Development Manager to help grow our residential and commercial design-build construction division.

DBD is a full-service design-build contractor with in-house designers and project managers, allowing us to support clients from initial planning and design through permitting, construction, project management, and final completion.

In this role, you will source, qualify, develop, and close residential and commercial construction projects ranging from approximately $10,000 to $5,000,000 CAD. You will build relationships with prospective clients, understand their project requirements, present DBD's design-build capabilities, and help move qualified opportunities toward signed agreements.

Once a project is secured, you will work closely with our in-house Design, Project Management, and Accounting teams to ensure a smooth transition from sales into design, pre-construction, and construction.

To provide time to establish your pipeline and close projects, the position includes a non-recoverable base of $4,000 per month for the first three months, plus 20% commission on Project Management Fees earned from projects you bring to the company.

You will also have access to DBD's existing marketing and lead-generation resources, including HubSpot CRM, Google Ads, website inquiries, organic SEO, social media, and our construction project lead-generation software. Candidates who use their own approved subscription-based lead-generation tools are welcome to continue using them, and eligible subscriptions may be reimbursed.

Who Will Succeed in This Role This position is best suited to someone who is proactive, relationship-oriented, persistent, and comfortable pursuing new business. You should enjoy meeting prospective clients, developing your professional network, following up consistently, and taking ownership of opportunities from initial contact through closing.

You will not be expected to generate every opportunity entirely on your own. DBD invests in marketing and lead generation and provides company-generated opportunities to our business development team. At the same time, the strongest candidates will combine these resources with their own prospecting, networking, industry relationships, referrals, and business development efforts.

Because DBD operates as a design-build contractor, you are not simply selling construction services. You are introducing clients to an integrated team that can take a project from the initial concept and design stage through permits, construction, project management, and final completion.

If you have construction knowledge, strong sales instincts, and the ability to turn relationships and opportunities into signed design-build projects, we would like to hear from you.
