Director of Business Development – Structural Steel & Metal Buildings

Static Steel LLC is a growing structural steel contractor providing fabrication, erection, construction, project management, and turnkey steel solutions throughout the United States.

Our experience extends well beyond solar structures and carports.

Static Steel pursues and performs projects involving:

• Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMB)
• Conventional structural steel construction
• Commercial and industrial buildings
• Warehouses and manufacturing facilities
• Equipment and maintenance buildings
• Municipal and institutional structures
• Structural steel fabrication and erection
• Joists, decking, miscellaneous metals, and related Division 5 scopes
• Solar parking structures and elevated solar canopies
• Shade structures and specialty steel structures
• Design-assist and value-engineered steel solutions

We are looking for an experienced construction business-development professional who can help substantially expand our backlog and establish Static Steel with additional general contractors, developers, owners, EPCs, architects, and construction managers throughout the United States.

This position is not intended for someone who waits for bid invitations to arrive.

We are looking for someone who knows how to find the work before everyone else does.

The successful candidate will identify projects early, establish relationships with decision-makers, get Static Steel onto qualified bidder lists, develop negotiated opportunities, pursue invitations to bid, and stay involved through estimating, proposal, negotiation, and contract award.

We want someone capable of developing a substantial book of business.

• Identify and pursue new structural steel, Division 5, PEMB, and ground-up building opportunities.
• Develop relationships with general contractors, owners, developers, construction managers, EPC contractors, architects, engineers, and design-build firms.
• Establish Static Steel with major regional and national general contractors.
• Get Static Steel added to qualified subcontractor and preferred-bidder lists.
• Identify upcoming projects during preconstruction rather than waiting until projects are publicly bid.
• Pursue negotiated and design-assist opportunities.
• Develop repeat business with existing customers.
• Re-establish dormant industry relationships and open new markets.

Actively pursue projects involving:

• Structural steel fabrication and erection
• Complete Division 5 steel packages
• Conventional structural steel buildings
• Pre-engineered metal buildings
• Warehouses
• Manufacturing facilities
• Commercial buildings
• Automotive facilities
• Aviation and hangar facilities
• Schools and institutional projects
• Data-center and mission-critical opportunities
• Solar carports and solar support structures
• Large shade structures
• Specialty structural steel

The Director of Business Development will work closely with Static Steel’s estimating, operations, engineering, and executive teams to:

• Review project drawings and specifications.
• Understand structural scope and project requirements.
• Determine whether opportunities fit Static Steel’s capabilities.
• Follow up aggressively after proposals are submitted.
• Determine competitors and understand market pricing.
• Identify value-engineering opportunities.
• Assist with scope clarification and proposal strategy.
• Participate in interviews, presentations, negotiations, and project buyout.
• Track opportunities from initial identification through contract award.

The candidate does not necessarily need to personally perform every detailed takeoff, but must understand construction drawings, structural steel scopes,…
