Our client is a highly regarded, established construction business with a strong reputation for delivering complex, high-quality projects across NSW.
With an impressive portfolio spanning commercial, health, education, government and infrastructure sectors, the business has built long-standing relationships with key clients and industry stakeholders.
Backed by significant resources and a strong pipeline of work, the business is seeking an experienced and commercially minded Business Development Manager to play a pivotal role in driving its next phase of growth.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to senior executive leadership, this is a strategic appointment offering the opportunity to influence the direction, market positioning and future project pipeline of an established construction business.
This is not a traditional sales role. We are seeking a well-connected industry professional who understands the construction landscape, can identify opportunities ahead of the market and build meaningful relationships that translate into secured projects.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop and execute business development strategies to drive sustainable growth and expand market presence.
- Identify and secure new project opportunities across commercial, government, health, education and other key sectors.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with developers, government agencies, architects, consultants, project managers and key decision-makers.
- Identify upcoming projects and position the business early in the procurement process.
- Work closely with estimating, preconstruction and delivery teams to develop competitive bid and tender strategies.
- Provide market intelligence, competitor insights and strategic recommendations to executive leadership.
- Drive opportunities through the full business development lifecycle, from initial engagement through to successful project award.
- Represent the business at industry events, networking functions and key client meetings.
We are open to considering candidates from a range of backgrounds across commercial construction, business development, preconstruction and architecture.
You may already be an established BDM within a Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 builder, or perhaps you're a senior construction or architectural professional with an exceptional network looking to transition into a more commercially focused leadership role.
To be successful, you will bring:
- Strong experience within the NSW commercial construction, property or architectural sector.
- An established network of industry relationships and the ability to develop new opportunities.
- A sound understanding of construction procurement, tendering and project delivery processes.
- Demonstrated commercial acumen and the ability to identify and convert opportunities.
- Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
- A strategic mindset with the confidence to engage with senior executives and key decision-makers.
- A proactive, relationship-driven approach with a genuine passion for business growth.
- Salary upwards of $200k + Super + Discretionary Bonus
- Senior leadership position with genuine influence over business strategy.
- Opportunity to drive major project opportunities across NSW.
- Join an established and highly respected construction business.
- Work directly with an experienced executive leadership team.
- Strong organisational backing, resources and long-term career opportunities.
- Autonomy to develop relationships, identify opportunities and shape future growth.
