Business Development Manager – Commercial Construction

Focus: Data Centers & Commercial Construction

Location: Atlanta, Georgia | Southeast Region

Build Relationships. Create Opportunities. Drive Growth.

Are you a relationship-driven business development professional who can open doors, build meaningful industry relationships, and generate new business opportunities?

An established, growing commercial construction contractor is seeking an energetic, entrepreneurial Business Development Manager to expand its presence throughout the Southeast.

Our client has experienced significant growth in recent years and is continuing to expand its commercial construction portfolio, including a growing presence in the rapidly developing data center construction market.

This is an opportunity to join a company with strong leadership, an entrepreneurial culture, and an exciting growth trajectory.

The Opportunity

This position is designed for someone who enjoys being out in the market, meeting people, developing relationships, and creating opportunities.

You will play a key role in expanding the company's customer base, strengthening relationships with general contractors, and identifying new opportunities across data center and commercial construction markets.

Rather than simply managing existing accounts, you'll develop new relationships and help position the company for future growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new business opportunities throughout the Southeast.
• Build and maintain relationships with general contractors, construction executives, project executives, procurement teams, and other key decision-makers.
• Identify and pursue opportunities within the data center construction market.
• Develop relationships with contractors building and managing large-scale data center projects.
• Expand the company's presence within commercial construction markets.
• Schedule and lead client meetings, lunches, networking events, and industry introductions.
• Represent the company at industry events, association meetings, and networking functions.
• Identify upcoming projects, bidding opportunities, and potential strategic partnerships.
• Work closely with company ownership and operational leadership to develop new business.
• Maintain visibility into relationship development, sales activity, and the opportunity pipeline.
• Help convert new relationships into long-term customers and profitable business.

Ideal Candidate

We are seeking a motivated, outgoing business development professional with a proven ability to develop relationships within commercial construction.

Our ideal candidate will bring:

• Experience in business development, sales, or strategic account development within commercial construction.
• Established relationships with general contractors and construction decision-makers.
• Exposure to data center construction and the contractors serving this market is highly desirable.
• Experience selling construction services, subcontracting, or speciality trade solutions.
• Strong networking, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and a genuine drive to generate new business.
• The ability to work independently and manage their own schedule.
• Willingness to travel throughout the Southeast.

Candidates from commercial mechanical, HVAC, electrical, fire protection, drywall, and other speciality construction trades are encouraged to apply. Industry relationships and the ability to develop new business are more important than coming from one specific trade.

Company Culture

This is an entrepreneurial organization that values initiative, accountability, teamwork, and results. The leadership team believes in giving talented people the freedom to do their jobs without unnecessary micromanagement.

You'll work directly with ownership and have the opportunity to help shape the company's business development strategy as it continues to grow.

This is a highly relationship-oriented position for someone who prefers being in the field, meeting clients, and developing opportunities rather than sitting behind a desk.

Compensation & Benefits

• Target base salary: Approximately $100,000–$150,000, depending on experience.
• Commission or performance-based incentive opportunity.
• Travel throughout the Southeast.
• Access to company aircraft for business travel.
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on company growth.
• Direct access to company leadership.

Location: Atlanta / Dallas, Georgia area, with regional travel throughout Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
