What they need
The Opportunity
We’re partnering with a growing, well-established construction business that is investing in its next phase of growth.
This is a true new business role, built for someone who thrives on the chase, enjoys opening doors, and gets genuine satisfaction from closing deals.
You’ll take ownership of building relationships across the development and property sector, identifying opportunities, and converting them into secured projects. With strong internal support and a credible brand behind you, your focus is simple: generate opportunities, win work, and grow revenue.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Driving new business through cold outreach, networking, and market engagement
- Building and managing your own pipeline of opportunities
- Developing relationships with developers, agents, brokers, architects, and key industry contacts
- Qualifying opportunities and progressing them through to deal close
- Working closely with internal teams to bring projects to life
- Delivering strong activity levels and consistently moving deals forward
What’s In It for You
- Strong earning potential with uncapped commission
- Opportunities to work on projects ranging from $500K to multi-million-dollar developments
- A genuine growth role where your results directly impact the business
- Flexibility & autonomy to manage your time and be out in the market
- Supportive leadership with hands-on guidance as you ramp up
What We’re Looking For
- A love for sales and new business development. Previous sales experience is preferred but not a deal breaker
- Someone who is proactive, persistent, and not afraid to pick up the phone
- A natural relationship builder with strong commercial instinct
- Resilient, driven, and motivated by results and earnings
- Background in construction/property advantageous but not essential
If you’re motivated by closing deals, building a pipeline, and being rewarded for your success, Apply now or reach out to Kate Corkery at Ascend Recruitment for a confidential discussion – [email protected] l [021 233 0598](tel:021 233 0598)
