·        Attend and represent the company at client functions, industry events, trade shows, and local networking opportunities (e.g., golf tournaments, association meetings, and plant-related events).
·        Identify upsell or cross-sell opportunities within current accounts and coordinate with the estimating and project teams to deliver proposals.
·        Maintain a strong understanding of industry trends, competitor activity, and market dynamics in the industrial services sector.
·        Track all client interactions, sales activities, and account updates in CRM or sales tracking systems.
·        Work with leadership to develop and execute client retention and satisfaction strategies.
·        Support bid preparation by gathering client intelligence and helping shape proposals that reflect client-specific value propositions.
 
Requirements
·        Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in business development, account management, or sales—preferably within the turnaround or industrial services sectors.
·        Deep understanding of the industrial contracting landscape, particularly within refineries, petrochemical, and chemical facilities.
·        Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills with the ability to connect across a wide range of stakeholders.
·        High level of professionalism and presence when attending events or representing the company publicly.
·        Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
·        Exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities.
·        Proficiency in CRM software, Microsoft Office Suite, and sales tracking tools.
