Business Unit Manager - Flat Roofs

You will oversee roofing projects from the initial opportunity through to the sale and handover to the project team. You will visit clients and project sites, assess the technical situation, prepare the cost estimate yourself, and discuss your proposal with the client.

At the same time, you’ll continue to build lasting relationships with existing customers and actively seek out new opportunities for Group BRS. You’ll help monitor the commercial development of the Flat Roofs Business Unit and actively explore areas for further growth.

• You will conduct site visits and prepare technical surveys of existing flat roofs and parking garage roofs.
• You analyze plans, specifications, and other project information and determine the scope of the project.
• You will be responsible for preparing the estimates and cost calculations for your roofing projects.
• You request quotes from suppliers and subcontractors as needed and compare different technical solutions.
• You will turn your cost estimate into a clear and commercially sound proposal.
• You actively follow up on your quotes, discuss them with customers, and thereby secure the final sale.
• You actively maintain relationships with existing clients and remain on the lookout for new projects and opportunities in the market.
• You take the initiative when you identify interesting new clients, buildings, or projects in the market.
• Together with our Business Development Manager, you’ll attend introductory meetings and joint visits to present Group BRS and our expertise to potential clients.
• Together with management, you will monitor the pipeline, revenue, margins, and commercial development of the Flat Roofs Business Unit.
• You will help determine which customers, projects, and market segments are of interest for the Business Unit's continued growth.
• After the sale, you will ensure a smooth handover to the project team and remain involved in the technical and commercial arrangements.
• You will regularly consult with the Project Manager and Project Leaders about current and future projects.
• You'll help us explore ways to further improve our technical, commercial, and cost-estimation processes.

We’re looking for someone who knows the world of flat roofs inside and out and can combine technical expertise with business acumen and customer service skills. Someone who can assess a roof from a technical standpoint, accurately estimate a project, and then win the customer’s trust to secure the project.

• You have at least 5 years of relevant experience in the flat-roof industry, for example as a Project Manager, Account Manager, Estimator, or in a similar technical-commercial role.
• You have a strong technical understanding of flat roofs, roof renovations, insulation, waterproofing, and detailing, and you can evaluate different solutions from both a technical and economic perspective.
• During a site visit, you can conduct a technical assessment of an existing flat roof or parking deck and gather the necessary information to develop a well-founded proposal.
• You can analyze plans, specifications, and technical information and translate them into an accurate cost estimate.
• You have business acumen and feel comfortable discussing, advocating for, and selling your own proposals.
• You recognize opportunities and don't always wait for a request to come in on its own.
• You enjoy building long-term customer relationships and understand that trust and consistency are at least as important as any single sale.
• You communicate effectively with clients, architects, engineering firms, property managers, real estate investors, suppliers, subcontractors, and colleagues.
• An existing network within the construction and real estate sector—for example, among architects, engineering firms, property managers, or real estate investors—is an added asset.
• You work independently and take responsibility for your cases, but at the same time actively seek to collaborate with colleagues.
• You can align technical, financial, and commercial interests while maintaining an overview of your business unit.
• Experience with estimation software such as Bouwsoft is a plus.
• You have a Class B driver's license.
• You communicate professionally in Dutch. Knowledge of French and English is a plus.

You will hold a position with a high degree of autonomy and clear responsibilities within the Flat Roofs Business Unit.

You work closely with both clients and projects. As a result, you see firsthand the results of the opportunities you identify, the projects you quote, and the contracts you win.

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

• company car;
• cell phone budget;
• meal vouchers;
• group insurance;
• cafeteria plan;
• laptop;
• the option to work from home;
• training programs and a personalized training plan;
• 32 days of leave: 20 statutory days of leave and 12 ADV days.

At Group BRS, we observe a collective construction industry vacation during part of the summer and Christmas seasons.

Group BRS is an ambitious and fast-growing renovation contractor based in Kortenberg, specializing in flat roofs, facades, and interiors. We renovate hotels, offices, apartment buildings, and other commercial properties, primarily in Flanders and Brussels.

We’re big enough to take on challenging projects, but small enough to stay close-knit. Communication lines are short, colleagues help each other out, and good ideas don’t have to go through multiple layers of management before they’re acted upon.

Here, you'll have the opportunity to take on responsibility, contribute your ideas, and make a real difference in how we approach our interior design projects.
