Ready to join a high-performing utilities team with the backing of an award-winning consultancy group?

At Connectus Utilities, part of the Consultus Group, we provide multi-utility coordination and project management services across electricity, gas, water, telecoms, and more. We handle all aspects of connection, upgrade and disconnection for commercial, industrial and residential developments.

We’re now looking for a Business Development Manager to join our growing team; someone who knows the space and is ready to move fast.

About the role

This role is focused on building relationships and winning business across the utility infrastructure space, particularly for new and existing developments requiring expert management of connections and disconnections.

You’ll work closely with developers, builders, architects and consultants, supporting projects by coordinating utility services and helping clients navigate the often complex utility environment.

You must bring real experience working with or across ICPs, DNOs, IDNOs and be confident communicating with clients who need solutions, not just quotes.

  • Utility Supply Upgrades

  • Metering

  • Asset Planning

  • Diversions

  • HV Substation Management

• Building trusted relationships with clients and industry stakeholders

• Managing and progressing your own pipeline of opportunities

• Scoping customer needs and working with technical teams to build proposals

• Supporting marketing activity to increase brand visibility

• Collaborating with internal teams across project delivery, sustainability, and procurement services

What we’re looking for

• Sales-hungry, proactive, creative and customer-focused sales professionals

• Commercially aware and target-driven

• Strong communicator with the ability to influence senior decision-makers

• Proven experience in selling services within utility connections/disconnections

• Experience working with or alongside ICPs, DNOs, IDNOs

• Strong knowledge of how the built environment and construction sector operates

• A confident communicator who can work independently and build trust quickly

• Organised, self-driven, and commercially focused

• Comfortable managing the full sales cycle from lead generation through to deal close

What you’ll get

• A competitive salary and uncapped commission

• Flexibility to work in a hybrid model

• Support from a well-established brand with a strong track record

• A team culture that values drive, integrity, and doing the right thing
