Geotech Business Development Specialist

The Role

The Engineering Business Development Representative is a force multiplier for GeoStabilization International (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.

Who We Are
GeoStabilization International (GSI) is the market leader in geohazard mitigation, protecting people and critical infrastructure from landslides, rockfall, slope instability, and foundation failure.

• Track and report competitor activity, agency funding programs, and market signals.
• Ensure wins, losses, and stalled pursuits are fully documented to strengthen future strategy.
