Job description

Technical Sales/Construction/Cork/€75K Base

Business Development Manager – Construction Products

The Company

An established specialist distributor of construction and building products, supplying contractors, developers and trade customers across Ireland.

The business has a strong position within the building materials market, providing a comprehensive range of solutions for residential and commercial construction projects.

With an established customer base and a strong supply operation in Munster, they are now looking to appoint a commercially driven Business Development Manager to develop relationships, win new business and grow revenue across the region.

The Role

Covering Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Tipperary, this is a field-based sales position with the majority of activity focused on Cork.

You'll be responsible for developing business across the construction sector, selling directly to main contractors and subcontractors as well as through builders' merchants.

The role offers an even split between new business development and account management. You'll have an established customer base to develop while actively identifying new opportunities with contractors, procurement teams and other key decision-makers.

The product portfolio includes a range of technical insulation solutions for roofing, flooring, cavity walls and wider building applications.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop new business opportunities across the Munster region
• Manage and grow relationships with existing customers
• Build relationships with main contractors, subcontractors and builders' merchants
• Identify upcoming construction projects and insulation requirements
• Promote technical building and insulation solutions to customers
• Engage with site managers, contracts managers and procurement teams
• Generate opportunities through direct sales and merchant distribution channels
• Provide customers with product advice and suitable solutions
• Work towards agreed sales targets and commercial objectives
• Maintain a strong pipeline of new and existing business opportunities

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established construction products business with a strong market position and an existing customer base across Munster.

You'll inherit established relationships while having the freedom to develop new opportunities, build your own network and grow sales throughout the territory.

With access to an established warehouse and trade counter operation in Cork, you'll have the operational support required to service customers and develop business across the region.

The position offers a good balance of account management and new business development, with the opportunity to take ownership of a commercially important territory.

The Person

We're looking for a commercially minded B2B salesperson with previous field sales experience, ideally within construction products, building materials or a related technical environment.

Experience selling to contractors and subcontractors would be particularly advantageous. Candidates from other technical or construction‑related sales backgrounds will also be considered.

You’ll ideally have:

• At least two years' B2B field sales experience
• Experience selling construction products or technical solutions
• An understanding of the contractor route to market
• Experience developing relationships with contractors, subcontractors or merchants
• Strong business development and account management skills
• Commercial awareness and confidence negotiating with customers
• A solution-focused approach to customer requirements
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills
• A proactive, confident and commercially driven attitude

Product training and onboarding will be provided, so specific insulation product experience is not essential.

The Package

• Company electric vehicle
• Pension
• Laptop and mobile phone
• 23 days' annual leave
• Product onboarding and training

Location

Munster – Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Waterford and Tipperary

The successful candidate should ideally be based in Cork, as the majority of the territory's activity will be concentrated there.

This is a field-based position, involving approximately four days per week visiting customers and developing business throughout the region.
