SalesBusiness Development

Great business development doesn't start with a sales pitch. It starts with relationships, curiosity, follow-through, and being in the right rooms with a genuine interest in the people you meet.

Granger Construction is looking for a Business Development Coordinator to join our Metro Detroit team in Corktown. This role will work alongside our Business Development and regional leadership teams to strengthen relationships, support strategic growth initiatives, coordinate client and industry engagement, and help keep the momentum moving behind the scenes.

And because our Corktown office is an important hub for our team and customers, you'll also help create an organized, welcoming environment where people want to connect.

If you're energized by meeting people, making connections, staying organized, and being the person who turns "we should do that" into "it's handled," this could be a great fit.

You're a relationship builder. You genuinely enjoy connecting with people and helping relationships grow.
You're proactive. You don't need every next step spelled out before you take action.
You follow through. If you say you'll handle something, people know it will get done.
You know details matter. From a client meeting to a CRM update, you take pride in getting the little things right.
You're comfortable wearing a few hats. An industry event one day and an office meeting the next sounds interesting, not chaotic.
You're collaborative. You enjoy working across Business Development, Operations, Marketing, and project teams.
You represent the brand well. You're comfortable being one of the people customers and community partners associate with Granger.

At Granger, we believe strong businesses are built on strong relationships, and you'll have a front-row seat to both.
