Why Granger?
Ready to Make Connections That Matter?
Granger Construction is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.
Great business development doesn't start with a sales pitch. It starts with relationships, curiosity, follow-through, and being in the right rooms with a genuine interest in the people you meet.
Granger Construction is looking for a Business Development Coordinator to join our Metro Detroit team in Corktown. This role will work alongside our Business Development and regional leadership teams to strengthen relationships, support strategic growth initiatives, coordinate client and industry engagement, and help keep the momentum moving behind the scenes.
And because our Corktown office is an important hub for our team and customers, you'll also help create an organized, welcoming environment where people want to connect.
If you're energized by meeting people, making connections, staying organized, and being the person who turns "we should do that" into "it's handled," this could be a great fit.
Support client engagement and business development initiatives throughout Metro Detroit, helping our team develop and strengthen relationships with customers, partners, and community organizations.
Represent Granger through select industry organizations, conferences, networking opportunities, sponsorships, and community events.
Coordinate client meetings and business development activities, maintain our CRM and client information, track follow-ups, and help make sure opportunities don't lose momentum.
Support market research, client intelligence, competitive insights, and conference strategy to help our team better understand where opportunities are developing.
Partner with our Marketing & Communications team on presentations, project information, client materials, promotional items, and event needs.
Help keep our Metro Detroit office organized, welcoming, and ready for customers and teammates, from coordinating meetings and visitors to supporting office events and day-to-day needs.
Help regional leaders and project teams coordinate meetings, special initiatives, training, events, and other needs that keep the business moving.

What Makes You Successful
- You're a relationship builder. You genuinely enjoy connecting with people and helping relationships grow.
- You're proactive. You don't need every next step spelled out before you take action.
- You follow through. If you say you'll handle something, people know it will get done.
- You know details matter. From a client meeting to a CRM update, you take pride in getting the little things right.
- You're comfortable wearing a few hats. An industry event one day and an office meeting the next sounds interesting, not chaotic.

- You represent the brand well. You're comfortable being one of the people customers and community partners associate with Granger.
