  • Business Development Manager | Commercial Construction
  • The Company

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.

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.

  • 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.

About You

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.
  • What's on Offer
  • 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.

Interested?

If you're a commercially minded construction or property professional with strong industry relationships and an interest in influencing the growth of an established builder, we'd love to hear from you.
