Description of the company:

This design-build general contractor is anything but traditional. Based in the vibrant Waterloo Region, their mission is to simplify the complex — transforming spaces with creativity, grit, and integrity. They're known for combining thoughtful design with precision execution across residential and commercial renovations, all while creating a client experience that's as seamless as it is inspiring.

Their team is small but mighty: a close-knit group of go-getters who believe in collaboration, continuous improvement, and having a good laugh along the way. If you're looking for a place where craftsmanship meets culture — and where career growth is encouraged, not just promised — this could be the one.

Why is this role open:

The team is growing and they're busier than ever with new client inquiries and projects.

Responsibilities:

• Lead Generation & Prospecting: Research and identify potential leads — whether homeowners, developers, architects, or other stakeholders who need high-quality construction services

• Sales & Pre-Construction Support: Qualify inbound inquiries, manage the early sales funnel, and help move clients from curiosity to commitment

• Proposal Development: Collaborate with the sales and pre-construction teams to craft compelling proposals, present solutions, and communicate the company's capabilities

• Relationship Building: Cultivate trust with new and existing clients through thoughtful communication and a solution-oriented mindset

• Proposal & Document Coordination: Assist with quote generation, service agreements, and smooth hand-offs to internal delivery teams

• Market Research & Marketing Support: Stay on top of competitor activity and industry trends; contribute to marketing events, presentations, and follow-up strategies

• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with operations, estimating, and marketing to ensure the customer experience is consistent and top-tier

Must haves:

• 2–3 years of experience in business development, inside sales, or similar client-facing role

• A knack for building strong relationships and communicating clearly

• Tech-savvy — you're comfortable with Microsoft Office and ideally have some experience using CRMs like HubSpot

• A valid driver's license (some local travel may be part of the role)

• A growth mindset — self-driven, resourceful, and hungry to learn

• Strong organization and attention to detail, especially when juggling quotes and client info

Nice-to-haves:

• A diploma or degree in business, marketing, communications, or a related field

• Experience in the construction, renovation, or design space

• Event planning or marketing experience

• A good sense of humour (yes, seriously — it matters here)
