Job description

Senior Business Development Manager (Residential Utilities / New-Build Infrastructure)

Midlands (Hybrid Role)

£80,000 - £88,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus + Pension + Private Medical Insurance + Life Assurance + Excellent Holiday Package

Are you an experienced Business Development professional with a proven track record of winning new business and leading sales teams?

Do you have experience developing commercial relationships within construction, infrastructure or another technical B2B environment?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing infrastructure business delivering essential utility solutions to new developments across the UK. Due to continued expansion, they are looking to appoint a Senior Business Development Manager to drive regional sales, strengthen customer relationships and lead a successful Business Development team across the Midlands.

In this senior position, you'll be responsible for driving commercial growth across the region, identifying new opportunities and building relationships with key customers and industry stakeholders. You'll oversee major accounts, support complex sales opportunities and work alongside internal technical and commercial teams to develop competitive proposals and secure new business.

You'll also lead and develop a regional sales team, improving performance through effective coaching, account development and pipeline management. Experience selling into housebuilders, property developers or construction businesses would be particularly valuable, especially within utility connections, building products, specification-led sales, new-build fibre or water, or M&E and civils contracting.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious sales leader looking to take ownership of a regional operation, combining strategic account management with hands-on business development in a growing market. While relevant sector experience is beneficial, the priority is someone with the commercial drive, leadership ability and proven sales record to deliver results.

The Role:

• Drive regional sales performance and identify opportunities for commercial growth
• Develop new customer relationships across construction, property development and related markets
• Manage key accounts and build relationships with senior commercial decision-makers
• Lead, coach and develop a regional Business Development team
• Oversee proposals, pricing discussions and commercial negotiations
• Monitor sales performance, maintain an effective pipeline and improve conversion rates
• Identify upcoming projects and engage potential customers early in the development process

The Person:

• Proven success in winning new business and developing previously untapped accounts
• Experience leading, coaching or managing a sales or Business Development team
• Ideally, a background selling into housebuilders, developers or construction, with experience in areas such as utility connections (ICP, IDNO or IGT), building products, specification sales, new-build fibre or water, or M&E and civils contracting
• Strong commercial awareness, negotiation skills and the ability to manage complex sales
• Confident building customer relationships and maintaining an effective sales pipeline
• Full UK driving licence
