Job description

Business Development Manager (Remedial Construction)

Business Development Manager – Remedial Construction

• Location: Sydney Metro, NSW
• Package: $120,000 - $160,000 Base + Super + Company Car / Allowance + High-Yield Incentive Plan
• Sector: Remedial, Building Rectification & Restoration Construction
• Target Audience: Open to established BDMs OR Estimators / Project Managers looking to pivot into full-time BD & Client Relations
• Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent

About the Opportunity:

We are currently partnering with several expanding Remedial & Restoration Contractors across Sydney who are actively seeking commercially driven, client-facing Business Development Managers to drive business growth.

This is a high-visibility, front-facing position where you will serve as the primary brand ambassador—identifying new project opportunities, nurturing key industry relationships, and feeding a high-calibre pipeline of tenders to the internal estimating and pre-construction teams.

Are You an Estimator or PM Ready to Pivot?

You don't necessarily need a traditional sales background! If you are an experienced Remedial Estimator or Project Manager who loves the "hunt," thrives in front of clients, and wants to step away from project administration or detailed pricing to focus entirely on winning work and driving strategy, this is your ideal career move.

Key Responsibilities:

• Business Growth & Prospecting: Proactively target and secure new tender opportunities across structural remedial, waterproofing, concrete repair, facade, and heritage restoration schemes.
• Client Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong networks with Strata Managers, Body Corporates, Building Consultants, Structural Engineers, Project Managers, and Superintendents.
• Front-Facing Brand Ambassador: Represent the business at industry networking events, client lunches, strata seminars, and formal tender presentations.
• Pre-Construction Alignment: Work hand-in-hand with the internal Estimating and Management teams to qualify leads, review scope suitability, and strategy-match incoming tenders.
• Market Intelligence: Monitor industry trends, track upcoming Class 2 / DBP project opportunities, and gather competitor insights across Sydney Metro.

What We Are Looking For:

• Remedial / Restoration Background: Solid technical understanding of the remedial construction landscape (concrete spall, waterproofing, facade, structural repair, or Class 2 works).
• Industry Networks: Existing, active relationships with key Sydney consultants, engineers, strata management agencies, or superintendents.
• Sales Drive & "Hunter" Mentality: Ambitious, self-motivated, and hungry to open new doors and grow market share.
• Commercial Acumen: Ability to speak authoritatively on building defect issues and understand high-level scopes of work.
• Background Diversity: Established BDMs, Senior Estimators, or Project Managers looking to transition into full-time sales/BD are strongly encouraged to apply.

What’s on Offer?

• Competitive Base Salary: $120,000 - $160,000 Base + Super (tailored to experience level and existing client network).
• Vehicle Package: Fully serviced company car or generous vehicle allowance.
• Performance Bonuses: Lucrative commission/bonus structure tied directly to tender success and business growth.
• Strategic Backing: Strong, established estimating and delivery teams behind you to ensure winnable, profitable project delivery.
• Flexible Work Culture: High autonomy role with client-facing flexibility across the Sydney Metro region.
