Business Development Manager (69509)

Promera is a leading provider of critical environment management solutions for mission critical environments, including data centers, cleanrooms, and life sciences facilities. For over 45 years, we’ve helped protect the performance and reliability of some of the world’s most demanding spaces. Our clients include top general contractors, hyperscale cloud providers, colocation facilities, and enterprises that rely on safe, compliant, and expertly maintained environments. Promera is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 certified, demonstrating our commitment to service excellence and operational efficiency. 

Promera is a rapidly growing, private-equity-backed national provider of critical environment and data center lifecycle services, operating across 13 branch offices with four strategic acquisitions completed to date. The company supports hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data center environments through a comprehensive suite of services including pre-commissioning, technical cleaning, airflow analysis, containment, and ongoing managed services (OMS). 

Promera differentiates itself through true end-to-end lifecycle coverage-from new build and commissioning through steady-state operations -offering a broader and more technically sophisticated platform than traditional facility service providers.
