Are you an ambitious Business Development professional with a proven track record of winning new business and developing customer relationships?

Do you have experience selling into the residential development, housebuilding or construction sector, or a background in technical B2B sales?

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established infrastructure business delivering utility solutions for new residential developments. Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to develop new customer relationships, identify opportunities and secure new projects across the North.

In this role, you'll focus on winning new business with housebuilders, residential developers and other key industry contacts. You'll identify upcoming projects, engage decision-makers and manage opportunities from initial contact through to commercial negotiation and contract award, working closely with internal technical and estimating teams to develop competitive proposals.

Experience selling into housebuilders, developers or construction businesses would be particularly advantageous, especially within utility connections, building products, specification sales, new-build fibre or water, or M&E and civils contracting.

The Role:

• Identify and secure new business opportunities across the North

• Develop relationships with housebuilders, residential developers and key decision-makers

• Research upcoming developments and engage potential customers at an early stage

• Manage sales opportunities from initial enquiry through to negotiation and contract award

• Work with technical and estimating teams to develop competitive proposals

• Maintain an accurate sales pipeline and forecast, identifying opportunities for repeat business

The Person:

• Proven track record of winning new business and opening new customer accounts
