Most Loved Workplace® Certified JobAbout the Role
At CSM Group, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Construction space, Safety-focused construction excellence delivering vision through tailored solutions.
CSM Group is seeking a Business Development Director to help accelerate the growth of our Project & Program Services (PPS) division. Our PPS model allows us to deploy experienced subject matter experts and advanced technologies that might otherwise be cost-prohibitive in traditional construction delivery models. Our teams work with top-tier clients in highly technical and regulated industrial sectors, delivering sophisticated project management solutions with agility and responsiveness. This combination of scale, expertise, and adaptability positions CSM Group as a trusted partner for complex industrial capital programs, service clients with global impact. This newly created role reflects the continued expansion of PPS, which serves as a key growth engine for CSM Group’s future—both locally and nationally. You will focus on expanding market presence, developing strategic client relationships, and generating new opportunities across key industrial sectors, including pharmaceutical/life sciences, food & beverage, and advanced technology manufacturing. The Business Development Director reports to the Senior Vice President of PPS, working closely alongside the Senior Vice President of Sales & Business Development and the Marketing team to drive strategic growth initiatives. This role is national in scope and requires a highly strategic business development professional capable of identifying opportunities, developing strong client relationships, and positioning CSM Group as a trusted partner for large-scale industrial capital programs. Particular focus in this growth will be in establishing and maintaining long-term MSA assignments comprised of large teams (10 or more resources) performing a range of PPS services in project management. This would include PC/CM, Managed Services and Staff Augmentation support. It is expected that the individual in this role will bring with them a healthy and comprehensive network of existing client relationships that provide fast-tracked opportunities for CSM Group.
