How You'll Shape Our Success

The Business Development Manager - Commissioning / Building Systems builds relationships across the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) community to bring new projects to TSS.

Success in this role comes from strong relationships, early project influence, and creating a steady pipeline of opportunities. This role is about opening doors and shaping projects early, not transactional sales.

Your Day-to-Day Environment

What You'll Take Ownership Of
  • Build relationships with architects, engineers, construction managers, and design-build firms involved in life sciences and healthcare projects.
  • Engage partners early in the design and pre-construction phases so TSS is positioned for commissioning and technical service scopes.
  • Identify and develop new project opportunities through AEC partnerships.
  • Hand off qualified opportunities to Sales and Operations for proposals and project delivery.
  • Share market insights on new projects, industry trends, and emerging opportunities.

What You'll Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in business development, client development, or account management within commissioning, engineering consulting, building systems, or construction services.
  • Experience working with architects, engineers, construction firms, or facility owners on complex projects.
  • Strong understanding of the design and construction lifecycle.
  • Background in industries such as commissioning, MEP engineering, life sciences facilities, healthcare construction, or building systems services.

What Success Looks Like
  • Generating partner-sourced project opportunities
  • Engaging projects early in design and pre-construction
  • Building strong, repeat relationships with AEC partners
  • Increasing the number and size of projects where TSS is specified or recommended

Perks, Pay, and Benefits
  • Earn $130,000 - $175,000 annually, based on your experience and skills
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Life insurance plus short- and long-term disability
  • Generous PTO and 10 company-paid holidays

Your Journey With Us
  • Recruiter screen
