A growing commercial construction business is looking for a well-connected Business Development Manager to work directly alongside the Director and drive the next stage of its growth.
This is not a traditional, office-bound BD role.
The business is already successfully delivering construction, major extensions, refurbishments and fit-outs, with projects currently ranging the $3M - $5M mark.
It has established relationships across the private sector and education market, working with private schools & institutions and is supported by a strong estimating function and capable delivery team.
The foundations are there.
They now want someone hungry enough to build on them.
The Opportunity
Working with the Director, your focus will be simple: create opportunities and get the business in front of the right people.
You will:
Develop new relationships across the construction, development, design and client-side markets
Leverage your existing network and "black book" to generate genuine project opportunities
Build relationships with developers, project managers, architects, consultants and property groups
Identify upcoming construction projects before they formally hit the market
Get the business onto tender panels and preferred contractor lists
Create introductions and opportunities for the estimating team
Strengthen existing relationships and turn them into repeat work
Help grow the company's presence and reputation across NSW
Work closely with the Director on the wider growth strategy
For clarity, you won't be expected to estimate the work yourself.
There is already a strong estimating function in place to price and convert opportunities.
They are currently winning most tenders they work on.
Why This Role Is Different
The Director is flexible about how the position is structured.
If you want a strong base salary with performance incentives, they are open to it.




If you're highly confident in your network and would prefer a more aggressive commission structure with significant upside, that can be discussed too.
You also won't be expected to sit behind a desk five days a week.
The expectation is that you're out in the market: building relationships, opening doors and creating opportunities.
This business also has established interests across property and facilities services, creating additional relationships and potential opportunities for someone commercially minded enough to capitalise on them.
Who I'm Looking For:
This role will suit someone who is hungry, organised, whilst ready to earn and grow with a valuable business & a small team.
You could currently be working within:
Construction business development
Commercial construction
Property development
Client-side project management
Construction consultancy
Your exact job title is less important than your network and ability to generate opportunities.
Ideally, you'll already know decision-makers across the NSW property and construction market and understand how to take a relationship from an initial conversation through to a genuine tender opportunity.
What's On Offer
Genuine influence over the growth of the company
Highly flexible working environment
No expectation to be permanently office-based
Negotiable remuneration structure
Strong base and/or substantial commission potential
Existing estimating and delivery capability behind you
Opportunity to build a BD function around your strengths
Access to relationships and opportunities across a wider property-focused group
Significant upside for someone who can consistently bring quality opportunities to the table
This isn't a role for someone who wants to maintain an existing pipeline.
It's for someone who wants to build one, grow a brand and be financially rewarded for the value they create.
