Business Development Manager – Building Envelope Solutions

Role

A fantastic opportunity to join a market leader in building envelope systems, driving project sales across major commercial and public-sector developments.

This is a front-end, specification-led role focusing on winning and securing specifications with architects and main contractors. You’ll work on high-value projects including data centres, hospitals, schools, and commercial buildings, promoting a premium range of insulated panels and façade systems such as:

1. Metal composite insulated panels (roofing and cladding)
2. Rainscreen facades
3. Aluminium cassettes
4. Brick slip systems

Once specifications are won, the commercial sales team takes over, allowing you to focus on developing new opportunities and long-term relationships.

Company

A globally recognised manufacturer known for innovation, technical excellence, and sustainability.

You’ll be joining a high-performing region with a strong project pipeline and excellent internal support. This role has become available due to an upcoming retirement, making it a rare chance to inherit a well-performing area.

Person

We’re looking for a project-focused salesperson with experience in the building envelope sector. You should be comfortable working with architects and main contractors, ideally with a background in:

1. Cladding, curtain walling, or metal roofing
2. Generating specifications and managing projects through to contractor engagement
3. Understanding of fire and building regulations (advantageous)

While full-cycle experience is welcomed, your time should be heavily focused on front-end specification work, not transactional sales with subcontractors or merchants.
