Business Area Manager - Construction

Introduction: A role for people who enjoy making things happen

Before you dive in, here's something important: this job description will look familiar in places because senior commercial roles always come with responsibilities and targets. But at KOREC, we are not looking for someone who simply "ticks the boxes". We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, building relationships that last, and shaping how the construction industry adopts technology that genuinely changes how people work.

If you're the type who brings ideas, takes ownership, learns quickly and has the drive to push both yourself and your customers forward, you'll fit in well here. Technical knowledge is helpful, but the right mindset, curiosity and integrity matter more. We can teach you the products; we can't teach the attitude.

KOREC has been around for more than 50 years, built on trusted relationships, market-leading Trimble technology, and a team of people who genuinely enjoy what they do. We're now focused on serious growth within digital construction, and we want someone who's excited to be part of that journey.

You'll work directly with contractors, engineers, surveyors and digital delivery teams, helping them adopt smart, connected construction technology that drives productivity and better decision making.
