About CoCreations
CoCreations Construction & Design is an award-winning, family-owned design-build and construction company serving Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Cary, and the surrounding Triangle area. Since 2013, we have specialized in custom homes, major renovations, and additions, delivering exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a personalized client experience.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced, results-driven Senior Construction Sales & Business Development Manager to lead sales and drive growth for our established design-build company.
This is a critical, revenue-generating role for a professional who combines proven sales ability with substantial knowledge of residential construction, custom homebuilding, and design. The ideal candidate understands how to guide clients through complex construction decisions, develop realistic project budgets, build lasting relationships, and convert opportunities into signed, profitable contracts.
You will work directly with company ownership and our Lead Estimator to evaluate projects, develop proposals, establish pricing, and manage opportunities from initial consultation through contract execution.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the sales process from initial inquiry and client consultation through proposal presentation, negotiation, and signed contract.
- Generate new business through networking, referrals, strategic partnerships, and proactive prospecting.
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities for custom homes, major renovations, and additions.
- Develop relationships with homeowners, architects, interior designers, real estate professionals, and other referral partners.
- Collaborate with ownership and the Lead Estimator to assess project feasibility, establish budgets, develop proposals, and ensure appropriate pricing and profitability.
- Use construction and design knowledge to help clients understand project scope, costs, options, and expectations.
- Manage follow-up, track sales activity, forecast revenue, and maintain accurate pipeline records.
- Represent CoCreations professionally throughout the Triangle and deliver exceptional client experience.
Qualifications & Experience
- Significant experience in residential construction, custom homebuilding, design-build, or high-end remodeling.
- Proven success in construction sales, business development, and closing high-value residential projects.
- Strong understanding of construction methods, estimating, project budgets, architectural plans, and design considerations.
- Demonstrated ability to develop relationships, generate leads, negotiate effectively, and close contracts.
- Understanding project margins, pricing, and profitability.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and organizational skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively with ownership and estimating while independently managing client relationships and sales opportunities.
- Self-motivated, professional, accountable, and driven by results.
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel throughout the Triangle.
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation with performance-based earning potential
- Paid vacation and company holidays
- Profit-sharing program
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- The opportunity to work directly with company ownership and an experienced construction and design team
- A key role in the continued growth of an established, award-winning design-build company
The Ideal Candidate
We are not looking for a traditional salesperson who simply responds to leads and sends estimates. We want a seasoned construction professional who understands both the technical and creative sides of residential building and has the sales expertise to turn that knowledge into profitable business.
If you have a strong track record in construction sales, understand what it takes to deliver exceptional custom homes and major renovations, and are ready to take ownership of sales growth, we would like to hear from you.
