This role blends business development, project management, preconstruction, and entitlement/development work, with a strong preference for construction oversight experience. You will support and lead high-value pursuits in Wisconsin and across the United States, driving pursuit planning, information gathering, and client value creation. The role may also support strategic initiatives such as mergers & acquisitions, EPC team building, and other development pursuits.

This position will be based in one of our Wisconsin offices: Milwaukee, Madison, or Fond du Lac, with travel as needed to support pursuits and projects throughout the United States.

  • Preconstruction & entitlement coordination: Partner with internal and external teams to advance preconstruction planning, permitting, and development/entitlement activities.
  • Project oversight: Provide executive-level coordination from pursuit through closeout-aligning scope, schedule, and delivery approach while supporting strong construction execution.
  • Financial management: Support securing project financing (lenders/investors), manage capital budgets, and monitor expenditures to reduce risk of overruns.
  • Stakeholder management: Build and maintain relationships with architects, engineers, general contractors, public officials, and investors.
  • Operational involvement: Participate in and help lead internal teams; provide mentorship and help establish performance goals and operating rhythms.
  • Asset/portfolio management: Support management of existing assets/LLC structures and coordinate with accounting on reporting and ongoing administration.

  • Strategic thinking: Ability to interpret market data and demographic trends and translate insights into viable pursuit and development strategies.
  • Financial acumen: Comfort with budgeting, pro formas, and basic risk/return evaluation to support go/no-go decisions.
  • Communication & influence: Ability to engage clients and partners, align internal stakeholders, and communicate clearly across technical and business audiences.
  • Organization: Skilled at managing multiple concurrent, high-value pursuits with disciplined planning and follow-through.
