Business Development Representative

Presco Engineering•New Haven, CT

70d•Hybrid

About The Position

We are seeking an energetic and results-driven Business Development Representative to play a key role in expanding our high value client base and generating new business opportunities in engineering services. Your primary focus will be proactive prospecting, through trade shows, cold calls, targeted emails, LinkedIn outreach, and more to secure meetings and qualify potential customers for our engineering team. As the first point of contact for new prospects, you will open doors, spark interest, and qualify leads for our engineering design and manufacturing services before handing them off to our technical sales team. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on outbound hustle and truly enjoys building the sales pipeline. This is a strategic, relationship-focused role—not a traditional sales representative position and not a closing role—ideal for someone who loves hunting, market exploration, and collaborating closely with technical experts

Requirements

3+ years of experience in business development, outbound B2B sales, or lead generation (engineering/technical industries a plus).
Proven ability to generate leads through proactive outreach (calls, email, LinkedIn, events).
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
Organized, self-motivated, and able to manage your own pipeline effectively.
Experience using CRM systems to track and manage leads. HubSpot preferred.
Comfortable representing the company at trade shows and events.

Market Development: Identify and pursue high-value prospects and market opportunities across defense, quantum, medical, energy, biotech, and instrumentation markets by building targeted outreach lists and executing multi-channel campaigns (cold email, LinkedIn, calls, event follow-up, referrals).
