• Oversee quoting, proposals, timelines, and coordination across teams.
• Partner with internal leaders to ensure projects move smoothly from concept to build.
• Represent Suncoast at industry events and outreach opportunities.
• Report on commercial pipeline and project status to leadership.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills.
• Experience in commercial development, business development, construction, project coordination, or a related field.
• Ability to understand drawings, dimensions, materials, and technical concepts.
• Comfort guiding clients through early design conversations.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects.
• A practical, solutions‑focused approach when navigating commercial challenges.
• Experience working with CRM or project management software is an asset.

Why Join Us

• Competitive salary and bonus structure, paid time off, and a Health Spending Account.
• Work on high‑impact, design‑driven commercial projects across North America.
• Join a supportive, collaborative team that values new ideas.
• Opportunity to grow your role as our commercial division expands.
