Description

FORTRESS Protective Buildings, LLC (FORTRESS) designs, engineers, and constructs multi-hazard resistant buildings and products to protect lives and assets in high-risk environments. As part of the BakerRisk family, we combine innovative engineering, safety expertise, and high-quality construction to deliver durable, protective solutions. At FORTRESS, we’re not just building structures—we’re building safety, strength, and trust.

Responsibilities
  • Wear many hats—FORTRESS has start-up energy.
  • Conduct market research to identify potential clients and industry needs.
  • Easily transition from high-risk industrial environments to residential applications.
  • Represent the FORTRESS brand at events, industry conferences, and trade shows.
  • Develop and execute a business development strategy with the ability to adapt and course correct as you move forward to hit corporate growth strategies.
  • Develop company leading and lagging KPIs, track these KPIs, and report them regularly to senior leadership.
  • Develop deep, strategically selected relationships focused on determining what a client needs.
  • Engage with potential customers as a solver of problems, not a protective building supplier.
  • Collaborate with BakerRisk Engineers on developing customer relationships and potential project solutions.
  • Coordinate with FORTRESS’s external marketing partner and BakerRisk Business Development and Marcomms teams, as appropriate. OWN the marketing process.
  • Conduct onsite visits to target client facilities to listen and engage face-to-face.
  • Identify potential risks and work with the team to develop smart solutions.
  • Support procurement by coordinating supplier relationships.
  • Travel up to 50% to project sites (mostly Gulf Coast, but maybe further—adventure awaits!).
  • Help with project estimating, bid management, and keeping subcontractors aligned.
  • Contribute to the preparation of proposals and presentations for potential clients.
  • Collaborate with the project management and construction teams to ensure client needs are met.
  • Track and manage project success from initial RFQ through the warranty period.
