Role Overview

We are looking for a high-performing Business Development Manager with strong estimating capabilities to drive revenue growth in the commercial painting and coatings sector.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with Property Managers, Facility Managers, Maintenance Teams
• Existing established relationships with Commercial Property Managers, Facility Managers, HOAs etc.
• Experience in estimating commercial projects
• Strong understanding of: surface preparation requirements, coating systems, commercial project scopes

Core Competencies

• Ownership mindset — takes responsibility for results, not just tasks
• Commercial awareness — understands pricing, margins, and project viability
• Speed & responsiveness — able to move quickly without sacrificing accuracy
• Strong communication skills — clear, direct, and professional
• Relationship-driven — builds trust and long-term partnerships
• Problem-solving — able to handle ambiguity and incomplete information

What This Role Is Not

• Not a back-office estimator role
• Not a passive bid-coordination position
• Not a project management role

Compensation Structure

• Competitive base salary (based on experience)
• Performance-based commission tied to closed revenue
