About ContraVault
ContraVault is building AI-powered software for industrial construction companies to make estimating and bidding faster, more accurate, and less manual.
Our technology helps estimating and commercial teams analyze bid packages, extract requirements, automate takeoffs from engineering drawings, identify discrepancies, and move from RFP to pricing faster.
We’re looking for an experienced US-focused SDR who can help us build pipeline and start meaningful conversations with decision-makers across the industrial construction and engineering space.
What you'll do
Own outbound prospecting into the US market across email, cold calling, LinkedIn, and other channels.
Research target companies, accounts, and decision-makers to identify high-quality opportunities.
Engage prospects across Estimating, Operations, Project Management, Business Development, and Executive leadership.
Build personalized outbound sequences based on the prospect's role, company, and current challenges.
Run discovery-oriented conversations and identify pain points around estimating, takeoffs, bid volume, staffing, and turnaround time.
Clearly communicate ContraVault's value proposition without relying on generic sales scripts.
Qualify prospects and book high-quality meetings for the sales team.
Follow up consistently with prospects across multiple touchpoints.
Maintain accurate prospecting activity, notes, and pipeline information in the CRM.
Experiment with messaging, ICPs, and outreach strategies to improve reply and meeting-booking rates.
Work closely with the sales and leadership team to refine our outbound strategy and messaging.
What we're looking for
Must have:
3+ years of SDR/BDR experience selling into the US market.
Proven experience with US outbound prospecting and cold calling.
Strong understanding of outbound sales fundamentals and sales development.
Comfortable speaking with US-based decision-makers over the phone.
Excellent written and verbal English communication.
Ability to personalize outreach rather than relying on mass-generated templates.
Strong research and prospecting skills.
Experience working with tools such as Salesforce/HubSpot, Apollo, Outreach, Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or similar platforms.
Ability to work independently and take ownership of pipeline generation.
Comfortable working with targets and activity metrics.
Strong follow-up discipline and persistence.
What will make you stand out
Experience selling B2B SaaS, AI, construction technology, engineering software, or workflow/automation products.
Existing understanding of the US construction, EPC, engineering, or industrial sector.
Experience selling to Estimators, VPs/Directors of Operations, Project Managers, Business Development leaders, or C-level executives.
Track record of consistently exceeding SDR/BDR targets.
Experience building outbound campaigns from scratch.
Strong cold-calling ability — you can create curiosity and earn a meeting rather than simply read a script.
Ability to understand a complex product and turn it into a simple, relevant business conversation.
What we value
We aren't looking for someone who simply sends 100 emails a day.
We're looking for someone who can:
Research → Personalize → Prospect → Create curiosity → Qualify → Book meetings.
You should be comfortable picking up the phone, having real conversations, handling objections, testing new approaches, and figuring out what works.
The role comes with significant ownership and growth opportunities as we scale our US sales organization.
If you've spent the last few years selling into the US and know how to create pipeline through outbound, we'd love to hear from you.
