About the Business Development Manager Role

Join Robert Half's dynamic team in Dallas, Texas, as a Business Development Manager in the thriving construction services industry. This high-impact position is perfect for a results-driven professional passionate about driving growth through strategic infrastructure opportunities. You'll play a pivotal role in identifying large-scale dirt work and infrastructure projects, cultivating key relationships with general contractors, engineering firms, and municipal leaders, and positioning our client as the go-to partner for major contracts. With Dallas's booming real estate and infrastructure market—fueled by ongoing urban development, highway expansions, and commercial projects—this role offers unparalleled potential for career advancement and uncapped earning opportunities. If you thrive on networking, market intelligence, and closing high-value deals, this Business Development Manager position at Robert Half is your next career milestone.

Why This Role Stands Out in Dallas, TX

Dallas is at the heart of America's infrastructure renaissance, with billions in public and private projects underway. From the Trinity Parkway improvements to massive data center developments and logistics hubs, opportunities abound for savvy business developers. Robert Half places you at the epicenter, leveraging our extensive industry network to give you a competitive edge. Expect to work on projects valued in the millions, focusing on 'off-market' deals that others miss.

Key Responsibilities

As Business Development Manager, your mission is to fuel company expansion through proactive opportunity hunting and relationship mastery. Here's what you'll tackle daily:

• Scout and pursue premium dirt work and infrastructure projects, zeroing in on exclusive, under-the-radar opportunities not listed on public bid sites.
• Build a powerhouse pipeline of upcoming projects by networking with top industry influencers and compiling actionable market intelligence.
• Tap into your established contacts for prime positioning, securing warm introductions that fast-track bids.
• Forge enduring partnerships with general contractors, engineering firms, and municipal decision-makers to become their first-call resource.
• Champion the company for lucrative Master Service Agreements (MSAs) and flexible Time & Material contracts that ensure steady revenue streams.
• Develop sophisticated 12–24 month project forecasts, aligning them precisely with overarching business growth targets.
• Partner seamlessly with internal operations, estimating, and executive teams for flawless strategy execution.
• Shine at industry conferences, association meetings, and site visits to amplify brand presence and solidify alliances.
• Stay ahead of the curve by tracking market shifts, competitor moves, and emerging trends in construction services.

Performance Metrics for Success

Success is measured by pipeline value, win rates on MSAs, relationship depth (e.g., repeat business), and forecast accuracy. Top performers consistently exceed targets, earning substantial commissions.

Required Qualifications

To excel, you need a blend of experience, skills, and hustle. Robert Half seeks candidates who check these boxes:

• 3-5+ years in business development, preferably in construction, infrastructure, civil engineering, or heavy civil sectors.
• Proven network in Texas construction—connections with GCs, engineers, and public officials are gold.
• Expertise in dirt work, site preparation, underground utilities, and large-scale earthmoving projects.
• Track record of landing MSAs, T&M deals, or similar long-term contracts.
• Strong analytical skills for forecasting, market research, and CRM tools like Salesforce or similar.
• Exceptional communicator: persuasive presentations, negotiation prowess, and relationship nurturing.
• Bachelor's in Business, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Familiarity with Dallas-Fort Worth market dynamics, bidding processes, and regulatory landscape.
• Self-starter mindset with CRM proficiency and data-driven decision-making.
