Based in our Burnaby office — just steps from the Gilmore SkyTrain station — this position offers the potential for a hybrid work arrangement.

If you're organized, curious about how firms grow, and energized by working across people, tools, and deadlines, we want to hear from you.

Who we are

BKL Consultants is Western Canada's leading acoustical consultancy. Since 1966, we've provided expert advice on acoustics, noise, and vibration to architects, builders, consultants, developers, facility owners, and governments. Our 30-person team includes engineers, scientists, and administrative staff who collaborate on projects across the region.

We're a successful small business with a friendly work environment and excellent opportunities for career advancement. As BD Coordinator, you'll be at the centre of our growth efforts, helping connect the right opportunities with the right people.

• Prepare opportunity summaries for internal review, including project scope, timeline, submission requirements, and key decision criteria.
• Use social selling and prospecting tools to identify, track, and research prospective clients, decision-makers, and project owners relevant to BKL's target markets.
• Draft client outreach communications on behalf of business development team for their review and send; prepare talking points and relevant background for client meetings.
• Coordinate lunch and learn presentations with target firms: identify appropriate contacts, handle scheduling and logistics, assist with presentation preparation, and follow up with attendees afterward.
• Support relationship-building efforts by tracking client touchpoints, maintaining contact databases, and flagging follow-up opportunities.
• Monitor industry news, project announcements, and market trends; research prospective clients and competitors to inform pursuit decisions and go/no-go discussions.

• Experience in a sales, business development, client services, or administration coordination role (including co-op or internship experience) is an asset

• Experience in the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) or professional services industry is an asset
