About the role
We are on a path to become one of Southwestern Ontario’s most recognized names in custom residential construction. We build custom homes, large-scale renovations, and structural additions for clients who expect precision, craftsmanship, and a trusted process. We are scaling fast and building the team to match.
We are hiring a Business Development Manager to own new business generation end to end. Your job is to find the right clients, homeowners making six-figure decisions on custom builds and major renovations, and bring them in. You will run the full cycle from first conversation to signed contract. This is not a support role, a networking role, or a brand ambassador role. You are here to close business.
You will report directly to the President and work closely with the project managers to ensure a clean handoff from sale to delivery.
