About the Opportunity TalentRise is partnering with a well-established, privately held mechanical contractor in Western New York to find its first Director of Business Development. The company has built a strong reputation and a portfolio of high-profile regional projects largely through inbound work and long-standing relationships.
As the company looks to expand beyond its current scale, it is investing in a new, senior-level business development function to open doors to new opportunities.
The right person for this role has a strong, established network across the Buffalo construction community, including general contractors, developers, and facility owners, and uses those relationships to bring in new work.
What You'll Do
- Build and expand high-level relationships with general contractors, developers, property owners, and facility decision-makers
- Identify emerging projects and opportunities early (new developments, renovations, capital investments) and position the company to compete
- Represent the company at industry, civic, and social settings to build visibility and trust with key players
- Sit on the leadership team and participate across sales and operations functions to understand the company's capabilities, customers, and how the business operates
- Partner closely with estimating/design sales and service sales teams, bringing in opportunities for them to pursue and close
- Help shape a long-term (5-10 year) growth strategy for market expansion, including potential geographic growth through partnerships or acquisitions
Compensation
The base salary range for this position is $130,000 - 150,000 plus a structured commission plan.
Apply
To learn more or to apply for the position, please send resumes to Adam Nye, Talent Consultant, at [emailprotected]. What We're Looking For
- A high-energy, entrepreneurial relationship-builder motivated by growth and earning potential
- A track record of genuine, long-term relationship building, not only transactional networking
- Established, credible relationships with general contractors, developers, owners, and/or facility decision-makers in the region
- Comfort operating at a senior/executive level, including client engagement and high-level social settings
- Construction or mechanical industry background is a plus but not required - strong candidates may come from commercial real estate, facilities/property management, or other B2B relationship-driven fields
- Enough business acumen to understand and credibly represent the company's differentiators (design-build capability, fabrication shop, prefabrication/3D capabilities)
