Business Development Manager

Sell With a Portfolio Behind You.

Lead growth across Southern Illinois and Southeast Missouri for one of the region’s largest sports builders. We design, build, and self-perform large athletic complexes and parks facilities, so you can offer clients something few competitors can: one team accountable from start to finish, with an award-winning portfolio to prove it.

This is a remote, outside sales role with a high-performing territory and a substantial, uncapped commission plan — the base is only the starting point, and top performers earn well beyond it. It is a great fit for a seasoned business development professional who thrives on complex, multi-stakeholder deals and wants to be rewarded for results.

Nationally Recognized. Midwest Built.

Byrne & Jones Construction is one of the largest construction companies in the Midwest. For more than 50 years, our asphalt, concrete, microsurfacing, soil stabilization, engineering and design, parks, and sports divisions have built the roads, parking lots, parks, and athletic facilities communities utilize every day — and we self-perform the work other builders subcontract. Our Sports & Parks division has built a portfolio of nationally recognized, award-winning athletic facilities. Proven volume, in-house expertise, and control of the work on the ground let us move fast and make the decisions that protect quality and margin early.
