SiteTalent is partnering with Canada’s leading integrated workplace safety company to find a Director of Business Development. Our client is a well-established and rapidly growing organization that brings together specialized safety companies, expert teams, and industry-leading services under one coordinated model. They serve the construction and skilled trades sector with a full suite of training, consulting, compliance, emergency response, occupational health, and risk management services-making workplace safety simpler, more connected, and more effective for their clients.

The Director of Business Development is a high-impact commercial role responsible for driving recent client acquisition and market expansion across the company’s training programs, with a specific focus on the construction and skilled trades sector. Reporting into senior leadership, you will identify, engage, and close new business opportunities with construction companies, contractors, industry associations, and workforce development partners across Ontario.

You’ll actively promote the company’s training solutions by meeting with prospective clients, presenting program offerings, and demonstrating how their modern, flexible training model-including their proprietary LMS and hybrid delivery-helps organizations upskill their workforce more efficiently. You’ll have real autonomy to build your territory, shape the go-to-market approach, and directly impact revenue.

If you’re energized by building something from the ground up and thrive in an ambitious, high-growth environment, this is worth a conversation.
