You’ll serve as the strategic point of contact for key EPCs, owners, and general contractors—owning relationships, identifying upcoming projects, and positioning the company to win work.

This role sits at the intersection of client relationships, project strategy, and execution, partnering closely with estimating and operations to turn opportunities into awarded work.

  • Build and execute a strategic sales plan focused on high-value accounts
  • Stay ahead of market trends, project pipelines, and competitive positioning
  • Partner with estimating teams to develop winning, high-quality proposals
  • Lead client presentations and confidently communicate with stakeholders at all levels
  • Travel nationally to meet clients, attend industry events, and support bid efforts
  • Play a key role in expanding market share and driving top-line growth

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR

  • 7+ years of business development, sales, or client-facing experience in industrial construction
  • Strong exposure to EPC-driven projects within power, petrochemical, or related markets
  • Experience supporting proposals, estimating, and large project pursuits
  • Proven ability to build relationships and influence decision-makers
  • Highly self-motivated, organized, and results-driven
  • Comfortable operating with autonomy and accountability
  • Strong communicator with polished presentation skills

Bonus: Experience with refractory, fireproofing, scaffolding, insulation, coatings, or specialty mechanical services.

WHY THIS ROLE

  • Direct visibility with senior leadership and key clients
  • Opportunity to shape growth strategy within a high-demand market
  • Work with a company known for technical excellence and execution
  • Significant runway for impact, growth, and long-term success
