Business Development Representative - Construction

Job Description - Business Development Representative - Construction

Our client is hiring its first dedicated Business Development Representative to build the company's business development function and grow profitable, long-term builder relationships across the Indianapolis market. Reporting to the Vice President and working directly with ownership, this representative opens new builder accounts, re-engages former clients, and expands current accounts into new communities. Single-family and townhome builders come first, with multifamily general contractors following once that base is stable. Our client competes on reliability instead of price, and the right candidate knows how to sell schedule certainty and fewer callbacks while protecting margin. Pay combines a base salary with uncapped commission, and the role carries a company vehicle for use during working hours. 

Responsibilities




Core Responsibilities 




New business 






  • Generate new business with single-family and townhome builders across the Indianapolis metro, from first contact through awarded work 








  • Build and work a target list of local and regional production, custom, and townhome builders

Account growth and re-engagement 






  • Re-engage former builder clients alongside ownership, presenting the operational improvements Allied has made

  • Spend meaningful time at communities and job sites, building credibility with superintendents and staying current on schedules and upcoming starts 








  • Hand off each awarded job to the Residential or Multifamily field team with scope, schedule, and builder contacts confirmed 






Pricing and proposals 






  • Qualify every opportunity before it goes to pricing 








  • Support pricing so every proposal meets our clients margin standards, and walk away from work that does not 








  • Follow up on every submitted bid through award or loss, and record the reason for every loss 






Pipeline and reporting 






  • Log every call, visit, bid request, and follow-up in the company CRM the same day 








  • Keep stage, estimated value, and expected award date current on every open opportunity 










  • Report weekly activity and pipeline to the VP and ownership 






Trade shows and networking 






  • Represent Allied at trade shows, BAGI events, and other industry networking events

  • Recent sales experience in the central Indiana market 








  • Established relationships with builder purchasing managers, construction leaders, or superintendents in the Indianapolis area 








  • Proven ability to open new accounts, not only manage an existing book of business 








  • No non-compete or non-solicit agreement that prevents calling on Indianapolis-area builders 








  • Valid driver's license, a driving record that qualifies for the company vehicle, and comfort with daily local travel and job-site visits 





 


 

$90,000 - $120,000 a year
