Job description

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Business Development Manager to join a growing specialist in multi-utility connections, supporting developers and contractors across residential and commercial projects.

The business delivers water, electric, gas, drainage and civils solutions, providing clients with a single point of contact to get their developments connected and moving.

This is a hands‑on, relationship‑led sales role focused on developing new business and building long‑term client relationships.

You’ll be working closely with developers, housebuilders, contractors and construction professionals, identifying opportunities, developing relationships and taking projects from initial conversation through to successful win.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Developing new business and building a strong pipeline of opportunities
• Building relationships with developers, contractors and key decision-makers
• Identifying new residential and commercial development opportunities
• Taking opportunities from initial conversation through to quotation and win.
• Working closely with the operational team to ensure a smooth handover and excellent customer experience
• Growing existing client relationships and generating repeat business
• Keeping up to date with local development activity and identifying opportunities early

About You

We’re looking for a commercially driven and naturally personable BDM who enjoys getting out there, opening doors and turning relationships into business.

You’ll be confident speaking with decision‑makers, comfortable developing your own opportunities and commercially savvy enough to understand what makes a project stack up.

Experience within utilities is a must, but above all we’re looking for someone who is hungry to succeed, credible with clients and capable of building a strong network.

If you’re a driven Business Development Manager looking for a role where you can make a real impact and have the opportunity to build and grow a client base, I’d be keen to hear from you.
