About The Position

We're looking for a high-impact, growth-minded Vice President of Business Development to spearhead our infrastructure business across California and beyond.

From highways and toll roads to ports and large-scale public works, you'll lead the charge in expanding our footprint with state DOTs, port authorities, large municipalities, and federal clients. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll play a key role in driving revenue, shaping strategy, and expanding operations in the infrastructure construction management space. Your mission: win work, deliver results, and grow a high-performing team in one of the most vital sectors in the country.

• Deep knowledge of how to sell to and serve government agencies, DOTs, port authorities, and federal entities.
• Proven success in sales leadership roles with P&L responsibility, especially in professional services or construction management.
• A track record of winning and delivering complex, multi-million-dollar infrastructure projects.
• Strong leadership, communication, and negotiation skills.
• Bachelor's in Engineering, Construction, Business, or related field (MBA preferred).

Responsibilities

• Lead sales strategy for construction management services across the infrastructure sector: roads, bridges, ports, tollways, transit systems, and other heavy civil assets.
• Cultivate and manage executive-level relationships with state DOTs, public agencies, and federal clients.
• Win strategic pursuits and secure large-scale, high-value contracts with cities, states, and port authorities.
• Act as a visible leader and brand ambassador in the market; attend conferences, panels, and industry events.
• Oversee execution of awarded infrastructure projects, ensuring alignment with contract terms, budgets, and timelines.
• Drive internal collaboration with delivery, project management, and support teams to ensure project success and repeat business.
• Manage risk, resolve escalated issues, and uphold quality across the portfolio.
• Serve as a core member of the executive team, shaping the firm's infrastructure growth strategy.
• Build and mentor a team of seller-doers and business developers to support long-term scalability.
• Identify and evaluate new markets, M&A opportunities, and partnership models to expand reach.
