Are you ready to take your career in Business Development to the next level? This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and driven professional with strong sales skills to step up into a Business Development Manager position.

This role is mostly office-based, with a strong focus on outbound business development. You will be using your communication skills across phone, email, and digital channels to open doors, create new opportunities, and bring in fresh projects for this leading business in the construction sector.

• Developing and maintaining relationships with key decision-makers.
• Creating engaging proposals and presentations to win work.
• Staying up to date with market trends and competitor activity.
• Collaborating with colleagues to deliver a consistent business development strategy.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in sales or business development, ideally in the construction sector or related fields.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to build rapport quickly.
• Confident and proactive in making outbound calls and prospecting.
• Ambitious, motivated, and target-driven with a positive attitude.
• Highly organised and able to manage multiple opportunities.
• Full UK driving licence.

Why Join?

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Genuine career progression with support to grow your skills and responsibilities.
• A varied and rewarding role where your impact on new business growth will be clear and celebrated.
• The chance to join a forward-thinking, ambitious construction business that values energy, ideas, and results.
