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 robust 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 good 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.
