• Develop a steady pipeline of opportunities across Legacy’s services, including Private Provider inspections and plan review, Threshold and Special Inspections, Construction Materials Testing, and Geotechnical services.
• Represent Legacy at client meetings, preconstruction meetings, industry organizations, and networking events.
• Serve as a trusted client contact from first introduction through project award and early delivery.
• Coordinate scope, plans, and client expectations with our Jacksonville estimating and operations teams to deliver timely proposals and dependable service.
• Keep leadership informed on market conditions, competitors, active opportunities, wins and losses, and staffing needs.
• Keep an eye out for talented field, technical, and client-facing professionals who could help build our Central Florida team.
• Use Legacy’s CRM and digital tools to track relationships, opportunities, and market activity.
• Travel regularly throughout Central Florida, with occasional travel to Jacksonville.

What We’re Looking For

• Established business development or client relations experience in the construction industry or a related AEC field.
• Strong knowledge of the Central Florida construction, engineering, inspection, or development market.
• Established relationships with contractors, builders, developers, architects, civil engineers, building officials, or other industry partners.
• Proven ability to create opportunities and develop profitable business in a professional-services environment.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to work independently while staying closely connected with a remote support team and company leadership.
• Comfort with technology, CRM systems, and AI-enabled tools.
• Bachelor’s degree in business, construction management, engineering, marketing, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
• Florida professional or inspection credentials are welcome but not required.
