You will develop and maintain strong relationships with asset owners, developers, EPC firms, general contractors, public agencies, and industry partners to generate and sustain a robust project pipeline. Responsibilities include leading client outreach, market analysis, and strategic planning efforts; preparing and delivering compelling proposals, presentations, and interviews; and collaborating with estimating, preconstruction, and technical teams to align pursuit strategies with client needs.
