Job description

Business Development Manager - Industrial

£45 - 50,000 basic + £12,000 bonus + Company Car + Benefits

Regional territory | Field-based / Hybrid

Are you a structured, hunter-minded Business Development Manager who enjoys opening doors, building credibility and winning new business — while working as part of a high-performing, values-led team?

This is an opportunity to join a global, market-leading OEM supplying engineered solutions to some of the UK's most recognisable Logistics / 3PL, Industrial and Construction organisations. The business is undergoing a significant transformation in the UK, investing in people who are proactive, organised and open to change.

The environment will suit someone who is humble, passionate and resilient — a salesperson who does things properly and wants to build something long-term.

The Opportunity

You'll focus primarily on new business development, supported by a small number of existing strategic accounts, with a clear mandate to bring new customers on board and develop multi-site, blue-chip relationships.

Customers operate across complex, operationally critical environments where value, safety and reliability matter — making this a role for a salesperson who can sell solutions, not products.

Target sectors include:

• Logistics & 3PL
• Industrial Manufacturing
• Construction

The Role

• Proactively identify, target and win new customers across the UK
• Develop relationships with multi-location, blue-chip organisations
• Lead structured discovery and qualification to uncover operational challenges
• Sell engineered solutions on a value-based, consultative basis
• Engage stakeholders from Operations, Logistics and HSE through to Director level
• Work collaboratively with applications, engineering and service teams
• Operate in a changing environment, contributing positively to a growing sales culture

Sales methodology training will be provided — what matters most is your mindset, structure and approach.

What We're Looking For

• A hunter-profile Business Development Manager
• Experience selling into Logistics / 3PL, Industrial or Construction environments
• Structured, organised and disciplined in your sales approach
• Consultative and credible, able to sell value rather than compete on price
• Humble, resilient and team-oriented — no egos
• Open to change and motivated by building something rather than inheriting it
• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong personal accountability

Why This Role?

• Join a global OEM and recognised market leader
• Sell into a prestigious, blue-chip customer base
• Be part of a UK transformation journey with real investment and support
• Collaborative team culture with autonomy and trust
• Competitive package: £45 - 50,000 basic, £12k bonus, company car and benefits

If you're a BDM who enjoys the hunt, values structure and wants to work with quality solutions and customers, this role offers a genuine platform to make your mark.
