Project Development Manager - Civil Construction / Technical Sales

About the Position

We are looking for an experienced Project Development Manager with a strong background in civil construction, site development, estimating, or project management to help grow our company.

What You'll Do

• Develop new business and build relationships with contractors, developers, engineers, and property owners.
• Identify and pursue civil construction and site development opportunities.
• Read and interpret plats, site plans, civil plans, grading plans, drainage plans, building plans, and construction documents.
• Visit project sites and evaluate existing conditions.
• Understand grading, drainage, excavation, earthwork, site preparation, and other civil construction requirements.
• Develop scopes of work, estimates, proposals, and project pricing.
• Participate in pre-bid meetings, site walks, and customer meetings.
• Work with operations and field crews to develop practical and accurate project plans.
• Identify potential issues and opportunities before work begins.
• Maintain relationships with existing customers while developing new accounts.
• Follow projects from initial opportunity through estimating, proposal, award, and handoff to operations.
• Represent the company professionally during customer and project meetings.
