Business Development Representative

Freeman Building Systems is a trusted design/build construction company based in northeast Ohio, with over three decades of experience serving private industry clients. We specialize in high-quality, turnkey building solutions for industrial and commercial projects, including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, hangars, and more; often utilizing Butler Manufacturing pre-engineered building systems for efficient, durable, and customizable structures. Our ideal customers are CEOs and owners of private businesses seeking innovative design, efficient project management, superior craftsmanship, cost transparency, and on-time/on-budget delivery.

We focus exclusively on private sector opportunities (not public works or bid-based projects) within a 60-mile radius of Wooster, Ohio, though we pursue strong leads beyond this at the discretion of leadership or request of our customers. Our success is built on strong relationships, honesty, transparency, and a commitment to excellence.

Freeman Building Systems is seeking a motivated, results-driven Business Development Representative to generate new business opportunities and drive company growth. This role emphasizes outbound prospecting through cold calls, lead development and follow up, collaboration with our marketing consultant, and direct assistance to the Company CEO in closing deals. The primary focus is on securing "new" business from private industry clients in industrial manufacturing, commercial warehouses, hangars, and Butler® projects, while nurturing relationships with business owners and decision makers.

Projects are not, however, specifically limited to Butler® projects. This position is ideal for a proactive, confident communicator who excels in a results oriented environment, thrives on measurable achievements like qualified leads converted to projects, and contributes directly to revenue growth in the design/build construction industry. Success will be measured by the volume and quality of new leads developed, meetings scheduled, and projects secured through your efforts.

• 10+ years of experience in business development, sales, or lead generation (preferably in construction, construction-related fields, or commercial real estate).
• Strong phone presence and confidence in cold calling, outbound outreach, and relationship building.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills for professional correspondence and presentations.
• Highly organized with exceptional follow-up, time management, and attention to detail.
• Ability to understand technical construction concepts, such as design/build processes and Butler Building Systems, and effectively communicate value to clients and relay information to the estimating and design teams. (Training is available.)
• Self-motivated with a proven drive to achieve measurable results, such as lead conversion rates and project wins.
• Proficiency with CRM systems (Hub Spot) and Microsoft Office.
