Help Us Grow Legacy in Central Florida

Legacy Engineering, Inc. is expanding into Central Florida, and we’re looking for a well-connected, relationship-driven business development leader to help build our presence in Orlando and the surrounding region.

This is a senior individual-contributor role (no direct reports) for someone who enjoys being out in the market: building trusted relationships, finding the right opportunities, and representing a company that does business the right way.

You’ll have the support of an established Jacksonville-based estimating, operations, and technical team, so you can focus on what you do best: relationships and growth.

What You’ll Do

· Build Legacy’s Central Florida market, starting in the Orlando area, through meaningful relationships with owners, developers, contractors, home builders, architects, engineers, and building officials.

· Develop a steady pipeline of opportunities across Legacy’s services, including Private Provider inspections and plan review, Threshold and Special Inspections, Construction Materials Testing, and Geotechnical services.

· Represent Legacy at client meetings, preconstruction meetings, industry organizations, and networking events.

· Serve as a trusted client contact from first introduction through project award and early delivery.

· Coordinate scope, plans, and client expectations with our Jacksonville estimating and operations teams to deliver timely proposals and dependable service.

· Keep leadership informed on market conditions, competitors, active opportunities, wins and losses, and staffing needs.

· Keep an eye out for talented field, technical, and client-facing professionals who could help build our Central Florida team.

· Use Legacy’s CRM and digital tools to track relationships, opportunities, and market activity.

· Travel regularly throughout Central Florida, with occasional travel to Jacksonville.

What We’re Looking For

· Established business development or client relations experience in the construction industry or a related AEC field.

· Strong knowledge of the Central Florida construction, engineering, inspection, or development market.

· Established relationships with contractors, builders, developers, architects, civil engineers, building officials, or other industry partners.

· Proven ability to create opportunities and develop profitable business in a professional-services environment.

· Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.

· Ability to work independently while staying closely connected with a remote support team and company leadership.

· Comfort with technology, CRM systems, and AI-enabled tools.

· Bachelor’s degree in business, construction management, engineering, marketing, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.

· Florida professional or inspection credentials are welcome but not required.
