Houston, TX or Gulf Coast into Louisiana Remote

A well-established, privately held EPC firm is looking for a proven business developer to own and grow their Gulf Coast presence in the refining, chemical, and petrochemical markets.

This isn't a management role. It's a hunting role — for someone who is actively in front of clients today, has real relationships with decision-makers at major operators, and knows how to sell engineering and construction services into complex, long-cycle capital projects.

What you'll be doing:

Building and closing new business with downstream and chemical clients across the Gulf Coast — think Houston, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Lake Charles. You'll carry a VP-level title that gives you the credibility you need in the room, but the expectation is individual contribution and revenue generation, not team management.

The right person has:

  • 10+ years selling EPC, engineering services, or capital project work into refineries, chemical plants, or petrochemical facilities
  • Active relationships with procurement, engineering, and project leadership at operators like Chevron, Dow, LyondellBasell, BASF, Phillips 66, Celanese, Motiva, INEOS, Sasol, or similar
  • A track record of winning — not just pursuing — multi-million dollar project scopes
  • The ability to work independently and navigate long sales cycles without hand-holding

Compensation: $150,000–$185,000 base + bonus + full benefits
