About The Position

The Engineering Business Development Representative is a force multiplier for GeoStabilization International (GSI)’s Senior Business Development Engineers. This role exists to increase the velocity, quality, and conversion rate of project opportunities across multiple territories.
You will operate within a defined business development strategy, owning early-stage opportunity identification, qualification, and market intelligence, allowing senior engineers to concentrate on high-value technical and relationship-driven work.
This is a high-exposure, learning-intensive role designed for individuals with the intellectual capacity and ambition to grow into senior commercial, technical sales, or account leadership roles.
Who We AreGeoStabilization International (GSI) is the market leader in geohazard mitigation, protecting people and critical infrastructure from landslides, rockfall, slope instability, and foundation failure. We execute complex emergency and planned projects across the United States, Canada, and Australasia using design-build and design-build-warranty delivery models that demand speed, precision, and accountability.
Our differentiation is execution. Proprietary tools, elite engineering talent, and field-proven crews allow us to solve problems others cannot - often in geologic conditions where failure is not an option.
Our Culture: Built for Builders, Thinkers, and OwnersGSI is not a passive organization. We move fast, decide with data, and hold ourselves to outcomes - not activity. Our culture rewards:
Intellectual rigor and disciplined execution
Resilience under pressure
Extreme ownership and follow-through
Team-based problem solving in high-stakes environments
Client trust earned through performance
This is an environment for professionals who expect more from themselves and want their work to matter.

• Execute disciplined outbound activity across calls, emails, and meetings, measured through a Salesforce-based scoring system that values effectiveness over volume.

• Convert leads into engaged contacts through clear, timely communication, maintaining strong lead-to-contact conversion rates.
• Add targeted bid lists sourced from general contractors and infrastructure owners, consistently contributing new, qualified sources each month aligned to territory strategy.
• Use closed orders as a source of intelligence, capturing first-contact insights and feeding learnings back into territory and account plans.
• Maintain a response time of 30 minutes or less, recognizing speed as a competitive advantage in emergency and high-stakes infrastructure work.
• Sales & Project Development Support: you own accuracy, alignment, and commercial judgment at the handoff between opportunity and pursuit.
• Ensure deal creation reflects accurate scope of work, strategic intent, and technical context, enabling senior engineers to engage at the right altitude.
• Coordinate with engineering, estimating, and operations teams to support early-stage pursuits without rework or ambiguity.
• Track opportunities from identification through conversion, maintaining high deal creation accuracy and strategy alignment within Salesforce.
• Own bid follow-up discipline, ensuring 90%+ of deals are completed with post-deal intelligence captured and documented in Salesforce.
• Support pricing and proposal workflows with speed and precision, reducing friction downstream.
• CRM, Reporting & Market Intelligence: you are responsible for the integrity and usefulness of GSI’s commercial data.

• Monitor pipeline health, opportunity movement, and conversion trends with clarity.
• Track and report competitor activity, agency funding programs, and market signals.
• Ensure wins, losses, and stalled pursuits are fully documented to strengthen future strategy.
• Relationship & Brand Enablement: you are an extension of GSI’s reputation in the market.
