Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join a start-up Health & Safety and CDM consultancy with established Tier 1 client relationships across construction, healthcare, energy and infrastructure. They are now hiring their first dedicated Business Development Lead, to build a proactive commercial engine around the business. This is a commercial position rather than a project delivery focused role. The successful Business Development Lead will own the entire commercial process from identifying prospects to invoicing the client. In this role you would have complete autonomy over how you run your side of the business, so the role requires a self-starter who is confident in their ability to generate fee earning work.

Experience in Health & Safety or construction is important as you would need to be commercially credible, knowledge of CDM and Building Safety, having some form of safety qualification such as a NEBOSH is desirable too. However, this role is mainly focussed on work winning, some a demonstratable track record of managing and closing opportunities is vital. This is a start-up business, which has already won some long-term projects but requires a commercially minded construction or safety professional to join the team and help drive the business forward.
