With in-house design and permitting expertise, we help clients move from their initial ideas through to construction. We are looking for an experienced business development and sales professional to help us grow by finding opportunities, building relationships, and closing projects.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a hands-on role for someone who knows how to generate business in residential construction. You will actively source opportunities, qualify potential clients, build referral relationships, and work directly with the owner to turn prospects into signed construction contracts.

If you have experience bringing in construction projects and know how to close them, we offer the prospect to grow with us through project commissions, meaningful profit-sharing opportunities, and increasing responsibility.
