You’ll drive growth by connecting clients with a nationwide construction platform capable of supporting ground-up construction, design-build projects, tenant improvements, renovations, remodels, rebrands, and multi-location rollout programs. Backed by experienced construction leaders, dedicated project teams, and a broad network of subcontractors and vendors, you’ll help clients simplify and scale construction programs across multiple locations, markets, and stakeholders.

- Lead proposals, presentations, RFP responses, commercial discussions, and contract negotiations.
- Maintain an accurate pipeline, activity plan, and opportunity forecast using the company’s CRM.
