• Own the full sales process from prospecting and relationship development through to project award, working closely with internal estimating and operational teams to develop the right solution.
• Take ownership of your territory and sales targets with the autonomy to manage your schedule, client visits and approach while continuously growing your commercial construction pipeline.

THE PERSON:

• Proven B2B commercial sales or business development experience, ideally within construction, building services, roofing, drywall, concrete, glass, façade or another commercially focused sector.
• Strong new-business mentality with a proven ability to proactively generate opportunities and build relationships with General Contractors and commercial construction stakeholders.
• Self-motivated, target-driven and comfortable engaging with senior decision-makers in the commercial construction industry, with an "eat what you kill" mentality.
• Based in or around the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area and comfortable travelling throughout the local market, typically within approximately 50-80 miles.
