The Role

The Engineering Business Development Specialist is a force multiplier for GSI’s Senior Business Development Engineers. This role exists to increase the velocity, quality, and conversion rate of project opportunities across multiple territories.

You will operate within a defined business development strategy, owning early-stage opportunity identification, qualification, and market intelligence, allowing senior engineers to concentrate on high-value technical and relationship-driven work.

This is a high-exposure, learning-intensive role designed for individuals with the intellectual capacity and ambition to grow into senior commercial, technical sales, or account leadership roles.

Opportunity Identification & Qualification: you are accountable for creating signal, not noise, at the front end of GSI’s commercial pipeline.

• Execute disciplined outbound activity across calls, emails, and meetings, measured through a Salesforce-based scoring system that values effectiveness over volume.
• Create qualified opportunities that convert into defined pursuits, owning both revenue volume and opportunity count.
• Convert leads into engaged contacts through clear, timely communication, maintaining strong lead-to-contact conversion rates.
• Add targeted bid lists sourced from general contractors and infrastructure owners, consistently contributing new, qualified sources each month aligned to territory strategy.
• Use closed orders as a source of intelligence, capturing first-contact insights and feeding learnings back into territory and account plans.
• Maintain a response time of 30 minutes or less, recognizing speed as a competitive advantage in emergency and high-stakes infrastructure work.

Sales & Project Development Support: you own accuracy, alignment, and commercial judgment at the handoff between opportunity and pursuit.

• Ensure deal creation reflects accurate scope of work, strategic intent, and technical context, enabling senior engineers to engage at the right altitude.
• Coordinate with engineering, estimating, and operations teams to support early-stage pursuits without rework or ambiguity.
• Track opportunities from identification through conversion, maintaining high deal creation accuracy and strategy alignment within Salesforce.
• Own bid follow-up discipline, ensuring 90%+ of deals are completed with post-deal intelligence captured and documented in Salesforce.
• Support pricing and proposal workflows with speed and precision, reducing friction downstream.

CRM, Reporting & Market Intelligence: you are responsible for the integrity and usefulness of GSI’s commercial data.

• Maintain Salesforce as a decision-support system, not a reporting graveyard—accurate, current, and actionable.
• Monitor pipeline health, opportunity movement, and conversion trends with clarity.
• Track and report competitor activity, agency funding programs, and market signals.
• Ensure wins, losses, and stalled pursuits are fully documented to strengthen future strategy.

Relationship & Brand Enablement: you are an extension of GSI’s reputation in the market.

• Represent GSI professionally in early-stage client, consultant, and partner interactions.
• Support conferences, trade shows, and industry events with disciplined preparation and follow-up that translates into real pipeline activity.
• Maintain consistent, value-driven communication that builds long-term trust.

Required Qualifications

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• High attention to detail with disciplined follow-through.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities across territories and senior stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to geotechnical, heavy civil, or infrastructure environments.
• Experience using CRM systems such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or Zendesk.

Work Environment & Location

• Ability to attend field visits, project sites, and client meetings.
• This position requires periodic travel to active heavy civil construction sites in your region. While performing field or site visits, the employee must be able to safely navigate active construction zones, including walking on uneven terrain, slopes, and temporary access surfaces.
• The role requires compliance with all site safety protocols, including the use of required personal protective equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, high-visibility apparel, steel-toe boots, and other safety gear as needed.
• This is a remote position in the US, with a preference to be based in PA, NY, or NJ.
