- - Integrate and collaborate closely with our established Lead Preconstruction Manager and Operations personnel, along with estimating and project management teams, to ensure proposals are competitive, accurate, and fully aligned with our proven delivery strengths in Design-Build and CM.
- - Monitor and track public and private project pipelines (RFPs, capital improvement plans, master plans) and secure invitations to bid or negotiate on target projects.
- - Develop and execute a strategic business development plan with measurable goals for continued revenue growth and new client acquisition.
- - Supervise and mentor the Sales & Marketing Coordinator on proposal production, CRM management, marketing collateral, and lead nurturing activities.
- - Represent the company at industry events, trade shows, chamber meetings, and networking functions to expand our visibility and contact base.
- - Track and report on key performance metrics (pipeline value, win rate, new leads generated) on a monthly basis.
