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 house builders, 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.
