Are you a tenacious new business hunter who thrives in a competitive, high-energy environment? Do you have the emotional intelligence to build rapport quickly and the self-drive to generate leads, open doors, and close deals?

We're looking for a Business Development Manager with a hunter mindset to join a growing and ambitious sales team in a business that supplies essential services to the top tier of the construction and M&E industries.

This is a new position – a real opportunity to make your mark and drive sales growth across the UK. While you'll cover the nation, the majority of clients are based in the South of England, so ideally you'll live somewhere between Hampshire and Greater London area.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Winning new business – this is not an account management role; it’s all about growth.
  • Identifying and engaging medium to large regional and national companies within the construction and M&E sectors.
  • Using your initiative and creativity to prospect, generate leads, and book appointments – you’ll be supported by marketing, but you own your pipeline.
  • Spending 4 days on the road meeting clients face-to-face and 1 day in the office.
  • Building strong relationships, understanding client needs, and helping them choose to buy from you – not just tendering for contracts.
  • Working collaboratively within a supportive sales team with a newly appointed Sales Director and strong leadership backing.
  • Managing your activity and results through a comprehensive CRM system and structured KPI framework (weekly/monthly revenue targets, face-to-face visits, meaningful interactions, etc.).
  • A natural relationship builder with strong commercial awareness and high emotional intelligence.
  • A self-starter who’s driven, confident, and fearless on the phone and in person.
  • Someone with a proven background in B2B field sales, ideally in construction, commercial rental, or related sectors.
  • A proactive doer – you’re not afraid to make mistakes, as long as you’re learning and moving forward.
  • A true hunter with strong influencing skills (DISC: High I), who thrives in an environment where your success is up to you.

What’s on Offer:

  • £35,000 - £40,000 basic salary (negotiable for the right person)
  • £35,000 - £40,000 bonus potential based on clear performance KPIs
  • £500 monthly car allowance
  • 23 days holiday + bank holidays, increasing with service
  • Birthday off, long-service recognition, and more
  • Strong onboarding, training, and mentoring from a supportive Sales Director and leadership team

This is your chance to build something from the ground up and be recognised for what you achieve. If you're ready to join a dynamic, growth-focused business where your initiative and personality will open doors, we want to hear from you.
