Job description

Business Development Manager

London | Structural Steel & Architectural Metalwork

An opportunity to build your career and be part of something exciting.

Are you ambitious, commercially minded and someone who has a genuine hunger to succeed?

Are you looking for an opportunity to develop your career, learn from an experienced team and become part of a business with exciting plans for the future?

Our client is looking for someone with energy, enthusiasm and a real desire to make things happen. You don't necessarily need to be an established Business Development Manager - what's important is your attitude, ambition and willingness to learn.

About the Business

Our client is an established and highly regarded specialist in structural steel and architectural metalwork, delivering a diverse range of projects including bespoke staircases, balustrades, architectural metalwork and specialist steelwork.

With a strong reputation for quality, craftsmanship and technical expertise, the business has ambitious plans for the future and is looking to bring someone into the team who wants to be part of that journey.

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to develop a career in business development within the construction and engineering sector.

Working closely with the management team, you'll learn the business, understand its capabilities and develop the skills and relationships needed to identify and secure new opportunities.

You'll be involved in building relationships with contractors, architects, developers and other industry professionals, helping to raise the company's profile, generate new enquiries and contribute to its continued growth.

There will be plenty of opportunity to get involved, take ownership and develop your responsibilities as your confidence and experience grow.

What We're Looking For

We're much more interested in finding the right person than ticking every box on an experience checklist.

You might already have some experience in sales, estimating, construction or a customer-facing commercial role, or you could simply be someone with the personality and ambition to make a success of this opportunity.

• Naturally confident and comfortable building relationships.
• Energetic, enthusiastic and proactive.
• Commercially curious with an interest in construction and engineering.
• Ambitious and motivated to develop a successful career.
• Someone who takes initiative and isn't afraid to pick up the phone or open doors.
• Hungry to learn, willing to work hard and determined to succeed.
• Looking for more than just a job - you want to be part of a growing business and contribute to its success.

What's on Offer?

• The opportunity to develop into a Business Development Manager.
• Support, guidance and the opportunity to learn from an experienced management team.
• A position within an established business with exciting growth ambitions.
• Real responsibility and the opportunity to make your mark.
• Significant scope for career development and progression as the business grows.
• A competitive salary and package.
• The most important thing is attitude.
• Our client is looking for someone with fire in their belly, a willingness to learn and the ambition to go places.
• You don't need to have all the answers today. You need the drive and determination to find them.
