Senior Vice President of Business Development Remote (anywhere in United States)

The Company is seeking a Senior Vice President of Business Development to spearhead the creation of a national demand engine. This pivotal role involves identifying, developing, and qualifying large MEP+ opportunities that are beyond the reach of any single operating company. The successful candidate will be responsible for building and owning the national pipeline, developing senior-level relationships, and orchestrating the hand-off of opportunities to the appropriate operating companies. A key aspect of the role is to operate as a senior member of the platform leadership team, defining and executing the business development strategy, and ensuring the platform's win through the work put in front of them. Applicants must have a minimum of 12 years' experience in business development, sales, or preconstruction leadership within MEP, specialty trade, general contracting, or industrial services. The role requires a proven track record in sourcing and influencing large, complex construction or facilities opportunities, as well as executive-level relationships and the ability to operate in a decentralized or multi-entity organization. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, with the ability to build and lead a business development team, and will be measured on the platform's success rather than individual wins. A background in a private equity-backed platform or multi-brand operating environment is preferred, along with experience in high-complexity end markets and a strong understanding of MEP scopes and construction delivery methods.
