Area Sales Manager; remote

Hudson Valley, Albany, Upstate New York & NYC | Remote | Geotechnical & Construction Market

LVI Associates is partnered with a global design-build geotechnical and civil construction contractor with over a century of industry experience delivering complex infrastructure, foundation, trenchless, and underground construction projects. Due to continued expansion across New York, they are seeking an Area Sales Manager to drive growth throughout the Hudson Valley, Eastern New York, Albany, and New York City markets.

This opportunity is ideal for a geotechnical engineer, civil engineer, construction professional, or client-facing project leader looking to transition into a highly commercial role while remaining closely connected to the technical and construction aspects of projects.

• Fully remote position with flexibility and autonomy.
• Opportunity to influence projects from initial client discussions through construction and final delivery.
• Join a growing international contractor expanding its presence throughout North America.
• Exposure to a diverse portfolio of deep foundations, ground improvement, trenchless, tunnelling, healthcare, industrial, commercial, infrastructure, and data centre projects.
• Work directly alongside engineering, project management, scheduling, and construction operations teams.
• Significant visibility with leadership and the opportunity to build a recognized presence within the New York market.
• Clear career progression opportunities as the business continues to expand its regional footprint.

This is not a traditional sales role.

You will act as a trusted advisor to owners, developers, engineers, and contractors while helping clients solve complex construction and geotechnical challenges.

• Building and strengthening relationships with developers, consulting engineers, owners, and contractors.
• Identifying and developing new project opportunities throughout New York.
• Meeting clients on-site to understand challenges and recommend technical solutions.
• Working closely with engineering and operations teams to determine project feasibility and delivery strategies.
• Supporting opportunities from initial engagement through award and project execution.
• Representing the business at industry events, client meetings, and networking functions.
• Expanding market presence and developing long-term strategic client relationships.
• Collaborating with internal teams to support proposals, presentations, and project pursuits.

• 8-10+ years of experience within geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, foundations, construction, or related industries.
• Strong client-facing and relationship-building abilities.
• Understanding of design, engineering, and construction project life cycles.
• Experience leading meetings, presenting solutions, and influencing project decisions.
• Existing relationships and industry network throughout the Hudson Valley, Albany, Eastern New York, or NYC markets.
• Commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Desire to move beyond purely technical work and play a larger role in business growth and client development.

The successful individual will be:

• Personable and relationship-driven.
• Comfortable in front of clients and executive decision-makers.
• Commercially minded without losing technical credibility.
• Self-motivated and capable of operating independently.
• Passionate about building networks and creating opportunities.
• Driven by long-term career growth and market impact.

• Base salary starting at $120,000+
• Target earnings potential of $200,000+
• Attractive uncapped commission structure tied directly to project awards.
• Strong earning potential for high performers.
• Long-term career growth opportunities within an expanding international business.

Many geotechnical and construction professionals play a significant role during the design phase but become disconnected once projects move into construction.

This role offers something different.

You’ll remain involved throughout the entire project lifecycle, from identifying opportunities and developing client relationships to supporting design decisions, construction execution, and project delivery. It provides a unique blend of technical credibility, business development, relationship management, and long-term career progression.
