Business Development Assistant

Business Development Assistant | KerTec, LLC
KerTec is growing, and we’re looking for a highly organized, dependable, full-time, hourly, non-exempt Business Development Assistant to provide day-to-day administrative and coordination support to our Business Development team.
This is a support-focused position designed for someone with a developing professional background who enjoys keeping people, information, meetings, follow-ups, and business-development activities organized. You’ll work closely with business development and executive leadership, helping with scheduling, CRM maintenance, market research, meeting documentation, client and prospect information, conference coordination, and other administrative activities that help the Business Development function operate efficiently.
This position does not independently own sales accounts, business-development strategy, opportunity qualification, or client relationships. Instead, this position will provide an opportunity to learn those areas while supporting the team.
KerTec operates nationally across the energy, infrastructure, construction, environmental, land-management, and technical field-services markets. The person in this role will gain exposure to those industries while developing practical experience in business development, sales support, CRM administration, research, and commercial operations.
What You'll Do:
Schedule and coordinate client, prospect, and internal meetings
Maintain calendars, meeting information, action items, and follow-up lists
Update CRM records, contacts, companies, activities, and opportunity information
Enter and organize meeting notes and documented next steps
Review meeting transcripts or notes to prepare concise summaries and action items
Conduct research on prospective companies, contacts, projects, markets, and industry activity
Organize research into clear summaries for Business Development leadership
Assist with preparation and organization of proposals, capability statements, presentations, qualifications packages, and other Business Development materials
Support conference, trade-show, association, and networking logistics and preparations
Help maintain Business Development templates, reference materials, SOPs, and internal resources
Assist with marketing and client-facing materials as needed
Use company-approved AI, research, meeting-intelligence, and productivity tools to support routine work
Track assigned tasks and help ensure administrative follow-ups are completed
Provide general administrative and coordination support to Business Development leadership
Who We're Looking For:
You are organized, dependable, curious, and comfortable working behind the scenes to help a busy team stay organized.
You pay attention to details, communicate professionally, and can keep track of multiple assignments without losing sight of deadlines or next steps.
You do not need to arrive with extensive sales or Business Development experience. We are looking for someone with a strong foundation who can learn quickly, take direction, become increasingly independent, and grow into greater responsibility over time.
This role may be especially well suited for someone looking to develop experience in business development, sales operations, commercial operations, marketing, account support, or business administration.
You notice when something needs attention, follow through on assigned responsibilities, and are comfortable asking questions when additional direction is needed.
Requirements:
This position is based at KerTec's headquarters in Shallowater, TX. Candidates must be able to reliably work from the Shallowater office, as required.
Approximately 1-3 years of relevant professional experience, which may include administrative support, executive support, sales support, Business Development support, marketing coordination, project coordination, CRM administration, customer service, or general business operations
Strong organizational and time-management skills
Strong written and verbal communication skills
High attention to detail
Ability to manage multiple assignments and deadlines
Ability to conduct online research and organize findings clearly
Proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications
Comfort learning CRM systems and other business software
Willingness to learn and use AI and emerging business-productivity tools
Ability to handle client, prospect, and company information professionally and discreetly
Equivalent combinations of education, training, and relevant experience may be considered.
Preferred Qualifications:
Preference may be given to candidates with:
Associate or bachelor's degree in business, marketing, communications, management, information systems, or a related area of study
Previous administrative, executive-assistant, sales-support, or Business Development support experience
Experience maintaining CRM systems, databases, or structured business records
Experience supporting executives or client-facing teams
Experience preparing meeting notes, summaries, or action-item lists
Experience conducting company, contact, or market research
Experience preparing presentations, proposals, or other professional business materials
Experience maintaining SOPs, templates, checklists, or internal documentation
Experience coordinating conferences, trade shows, meetings, travel, or industry events
Experience with task-management or collaboration platforms
Familiarity with AI productivity tools
Exposure to construction, engineering, energy, environmental services, infrastructure, utilities, land management, renewable energy, or technical field services
Industry experience is helpful but not required. Strong organization, communication, judgment, reliability, and willingness to learn are more important than arriving with extensive industry knowledge.
