Position Summary

The Project Development Manager’s (PDM) role and responsibility will be to identify, prioritize, and secure Protective & Marine projects. It is critical that these efforts begin in the design phase stages of a project. Project development will be achieved through building effective relationships with asset owners and specifiers, advancing our specification position and ultimately overseeing the efforts to the point where the project is transitioned to the selling organization.

Additionally, proactive development of specifications and related activities with asset owners and specifiers should occur in anticipation of future projects with these firms. This will be accomplished by engaging and influencing key decision makers including multiple levels of management and procurement.

Another important aspect of this position will be to provide training and guidance to P&M Sales Representatives and customers regarding relevant coating solutions.

Project Development Managers are either (1) multi-segment: providing solutions to a variety of market segments in a assigned geography or (2) specialized: providing solutions to a specific market segment (Marine, Mining, Pharma, Oil & Gas, Food and Beverage and Bridge & Highway) or technologies (Fire Protection, Resinous Flooring).
