Primary Purpose Of Position

The Regional Business Development Representative is responsible for identifying new opportunities, building strong client relationships, and driving revenue growth across PDI’s regional markets. As the PDI brand expands our regional business development team across North America, we're looking for a proven, relationship-driven professional who knows the construction, demolition, environmental, industrial, mining or infrastructure market and has an established network of clients and industry contacts.

This is a client-facing role split between the office, client sites and active projects. The role is built for someone who enjoys opening doors, building trust, creating opportunities and turning relationships into profitable work.

Job Duties

• Own business development activity within your territory and build a qualified pipeline of demolition, environmental and related project opportunities.
• Develop and deepen relationships with owners, developers, general contractors, construction managers, consultants, engineers, industrial clients and other key decision-makers.
• Identify opportunities early and generate new business through existing relationships, referrals, targeted prospecting, site visits, networking and industry events.
• Partner closely with Estimating, Operations, Marketing and leadership to qualify opportunities and develop strong pursuit strategies, proposals and client presentations.
• Maintain continuity with clients from early engagement through award and handoff to the project team, supporting repeat business and long-term account growth.
• Provide current market intelligence on clients, competitors, upcoming projects and changing conditions within the territory.
• Represent Priestly Demolition professionally at client meetings, job sites, conferences, trade associations and industry events.
• Develop and maintain strategic relationships with local municipalities, industry associations, business networks, and community committees within the construction, demolition, environmental, industrial, mining, and infrastructure sectors to strengthen the Priestly brand, identify growth opportunities, support business development initiatives, and enhance the company's reputation as a trusted industry partner.
