Preconstruction Sales & Business Development Coordinator

Petra Design is a manufacturer based in Toronto of architectural glass fibre reinforced concrete facades. More below. Façade Systems Inc. is Petra’s partner and Agent for marketing and business development. The successful candidate will work for Petra, and take direction from Blair Davies of FSI.

Help Win Some of Canada's Most Interesting Façade Projects For more than 25 years, Petra Design has worked with architects, developers, contractors, and owners to deliver innovative façade solutions on challenging and architecturally significant buildings.

Our work includes 30+ storey recladding, deep energy retrofits, Ontario transit projects, community centres, institutional buildings, and new construction. We work with advanced façade technologies including UHPC, GFRC, architectural precast, and engineered façade systems.

This is much more than selling a product. It's about helping project teams find, develop, and deliver the right solution.

Your Mission

Help Petra win projects.

You'll work alongside our agents, sales representatives, estimators, engineering team, and President to make sure significant preconstruction opportunities are handled exceptionally well.

You'll keep quotations and proposals moving, ensure commitments are met, and make sure our communication is clear, timely, professional, and written in the client's language.

You'll also have the freedom to build business, not just process it—identifying and independently developing smaller, faster-moving opportunities with architects, contractors, developers, and owners.

What You'll Do





· Coordinate major opportunities during preconstruction, from initial inquiry through quotation and pursuit.

· Work closely with agents, sales representatives, estimators, engineering, and the President to help win projects.

· Follow up internally and make sure quotations and commitments don't stall.

· Ensure quotations, proposals, emails, and other customer communications are clear, complete, accurate, and professional.

· Communicate proactively with customers and manage expectations.

· Speak in the client's language, making technical information easy to understand.

· Identify and independently pursue appropriate new opportunities.

· Build relationships with architects, contractors, developers, and owners.

· Stay aware of opportunities developing in the marketplace.

· Take ownership of commitments and make things happen with limited supervision.

· Stay organized and able to communicate status on projects on a continuous basis.

Who We're Looking For

· An exceptional written and verbal communicator.

· Highly responsive and customer-oriented.

· Organized and able to manage multiple opportunities.

· Accountable and dependable.

· Self-driven and comfortable taking initiative.

· Technically curious and eager to learn.





· Comfortable teaching themselves when necessary—and asking for help when needed.

· Interested in architecture, engineering, construction, and how buildings actually go together.

Experience

Experience in Architectural Technology, construction, engineering, estimating, building materials, technical sales, or preconstruction would be valuable. Initiative, curiosity, communication, and the ability to learn matter even more.

Why Petra?

Petra has been in business for more than 25 years, but we've maintained the entrepreneurial culture of a smaller organization.

People know one another. Everyone rolls up their sleeves. You'll work directly with experienced professionals across the company, including the President, and your contribution will be visible.

We support people when they need help, but we also expect people to take responsibility for what they commit to doing.

You'll have exposure to significant projects, sophisticated façade technologies, customers throughout the construction industry, and the opportunity to develop business of your own.

Your work should help clients feel confident they're working with the right team long before construction begins.

If you're looking for a career combining architecture, engineering, construction, customer relationships, and business development, we'd like to meet you.
