Business Development Manager – Construction & Building Materials

Melbourne Creative Group is looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to grow our network and project pipeline across Melbourne’s construction industry.

We specialise in building material supply, procurement and project delivery, working with builders, developers and construction professionals across commercial and residential projects.

This is a relationship-driven role rather than a high-volume cold-calling position. We are looking for someone who understands the Australian construction industry, knows how projects move from opportunity through tender and procurement, and is confident building relationships with key decision-makers.

You will work independently in the market while being supported by our estimating, sourcing and project delivery teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Develop and maintain relationships with builders, developers, project managers, architects and contractors

• Identify upcoming projects, tenders and procurement opportunities

• Generate qualified opportunities through industry relationships, networking and targeted business development

• Meet with prospective clients and understand their project and procurement requirements

• Attend client meetings, site meetings and relevant industry events

• Present our building material supply, sourcing and installation capabilities

• Follow opportunities from initial engagement through tender, quotation and commercial discussions

• Maintain an active pipeline and provide clear follow-up on opportunities

• Provide market feedback on upcoming projects, client requirements and competitors

We are particularly interested in candidates who have worked within the Australian construction industry in roles such as:

• Business Development Manager

• Project Manager

• Construction Manager

• Contracts Administrator

• Estimator with strong client relationships

• Senior construction or building industry professional

You will ideally bring:

• Solid experience within the Australian construction industry

• Strong understanding of construction, procurement and tendering

• Confidence dealing with builders, project managers and senior decision-makers

• Strong commercial and negotiation skills

• Ability to independently identify and develop genuine project opportunities

• A strong existing network across Melbourne’s construction industry will be highly regarded

Experienced Project Managers and other construction professionals with strong industry relationships who are looking for a flexible move into business development are encouraged to apply.

• Part-time and flexible working arrangements

• Autonomy to develop and manage your own industry relationships

• Support from estimating, sourcing and project delivery teams

• Broad building product and project delivery capabilities

• Remuneration and performance incentives negotiable based on experience and availability

Please send your CV and a brief introduction outlining your relevant construction industry experience to:

We would also be interested to hear about the sectors you have worked in and the types of industry relationships you have developed throughout your career.
