Job Title : Business Development Account Manager

Salary : £35,000 – £48,000 per annum + Excellent Benefits Package

Location : Rugeley, Staffordshire (Hybrid Working, ideally located South of Birmingham)

Contract Type : Full-time, Permanent (40 hours / week)

Due to significant growth, particularly following the launch of the AMP8 investment period, our well-established client is looking for an experienced Account Manager / Business Development Manager to join their specialist team. Our client is a recognised leader in providing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for water pollution control, having designed and installed over 900 solutions across the UK and globally over the past 35 years.

This is a consultative sales role, focused heavily on building long‑term relationships and delivering highly technical, project‑based solutions to the water industry. If you are seeking a stable, relaxed sales environment where collaboration trumps aggressive targets, and where your work directly contributes to vital environmental improvements, this could be your ideal next step.

This hybrid role, based near Rugeley, involves developing new business and managing existing, high‑value client relationships within the UK water industry (wastewater / sewage). While the focus is heavily on Water Companies (approx. 80%) , you will also develop opportunities within the industrial and non‑utility sectors.

• Relationship Focus : Manage and nurture long‑term, consultative relationships, particularly during the 18‑24 month sales cycle.
• Technical Engagement : Liaise closely with the internal QS, Project, and Process teams to provide comprehensive technical proposals. The role includes conducting site visits / surveys and hands‑on engagement.
• Team Environment : This is a collaborative, non‑commission role. Success is rewarded via a profit‑related company bonus scheme, reflecting the team effort required.
• Location : Home‑based with 2‑3 days per week required in the Rugeley office for team integration and collaboration.

• Salary : £35,000 – £48,000 basic, commensurate with experience.
• Company profit‑related bonus scheme.
• Mileage allowance.
• Generous 25‑day holiday + Bank Holidays.
• Pension scheme (salary sacrifice available).
• Option for health care and car allowance / company car after 1 year of service.

• Essential : Proven experience in a technical consultative sales or account management role within the UK water sector (wastewater / sewage is key, not solid waste).
• Essential : A strong working knowledge of wastewater (sewage) treatment processes.
• Ideal : Knowledge or direct experience with reed bed technology or other Nature‑Based Solutions is a significant advantage.
• Skills : Comfortable delivering face‑to‑face and virtual presentations, proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel for proposals / estimating, Word, PowerPoint).
• Personal Qualities : Valuing job stability and a long‑term career outlook. Must have a full UK driving licence and own vehicle (mileage paid).

Join a stable, established company at the forefront of sustainable wastewater solutions.
