BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

SALES & MARKETING

FIBER & UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Crestone Services Group is a leading infrastructure-services company in the western United States, specializing in telecommunications, power, and other utility infrastructure construction and maintenance. The organization comprises six operating brands across multiple geographic markets, offering construction, engineering, permitting, restoration and maintenance services. Crestone brings scale, safety, and operational excellence to its clients.

JOB SUMMARY

The Business Development Manager is primarily responsible for driving revenue growth by winning new construction service contracts within the utility, broadband, data center, renewable energy, and infrastructure sectors. This is a relationship-driven, service-based sales role centered on prospecting, pursuing, and closing new business — it is not a retail or product sales position, and it is not a Project Management role. Awarded work is transitioned to Crestone's Project Management team, who own execution, delivery, and job profitability.

In addition to core business development duties, this role carries a secondary marketing function: supporting brand visibility, lead generation, and go-to-market efforts that directly feed the sales pipeline. The ideal candidate is first and foremost a proven hunter of new business in the construction, utility, or telecom space, who also brings the ability to support light marketing and content efforts that strengthen the sales process.

• Negotiate contracts, pricing, and terms.
• Track pipeline, forecast revenue, and report on sales performance.
• Partner with estimating and operations teams during the bid/proposal process to ensure competitive, deliverable solutions.
• Hand off awarded projects to the Project Management team for execution; this role does not retain responsibility for project delivery or profitability.

Marketing Support Responsibilities (Secondary Focus)

• Support targeted marketing efforts that generate qualified leads in key sectors, including data centers, broadband networks, renewable energy, and municipal utilities.
• Contribute to sales-facing content such as project spotlights, before/after visuals, and industry insights used in proposals and pursuits.
• Use social media as a relationship-building and lead-generation tool, engaging directly with prospects, partners, and industry stakeholders.
• Support the development of case studies, sales collateral, and proposal materials that reinforce active sales pursuits.
• Provide input on account-based marketing (ABM) efforts targeting high-value prospects already in the sales pipeline.
• Help ensure marketing messaging stays aligned with live sales conversations and pipeline priorities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with operations, estimating, and project teams to ensure smooth handoff and successful delivery of awarded work.

WORK EXPERIENCE

• Proven track record of new revenue generation through direct client acquisition.
