Head of Business Development

International Markets | Northern Ireland / UK / Europe | Flexible / Remote

A fast-scaling engineering business is delivering sustainable wet-processing solutions to customers across the global recycling, aggregates and industrial materials markets.

As the business enters its next phase of international expansion, we are now looking to appoint a Head of Business Development to lead global revenue growth, develop strategic markets and build a high-performing partner network.

This is a senior, entrepreneurial opportunity for someone who wants genuine ownership, influence and the chance to shape how an engineering business grows internationally.

This isn't simply about managing an existing sales territory.

You’ll be building the market, the partnerships and the commercial strategy for the next stage of growth.

As Head of Business Development, you will take responsibility for developing new markets, identifying major commercial opportunities and establishing strategic regional partnerships across key international territories.

You'll position the business as a trusted global partner for sustainable wet-processing solutions
, working directly with end users and through carefully selected regional dealer and delivery partners.

We're looking for an experienced commercial leader who combines sales capability, industry credibility and an entrepreneurial mindset
.

You’ll ideally have:

• Senior B2B sales or business development experience within process plants, materials handling, recycling, aggregates, mining, industrial materials or heavy industry
  .
• A strong track record selling capital equipment, engineered solutions or turnkey projects
  .
• A deep industry network and established credibility with senior decision-makers.
• Experience developing strategic partnerships, dealer networks or distribution channels.
• Strong commercial judgement and experience with complex negotiations and high-value projects.
• The ability to operate autonomously and build opportunities in new or underdeveloped markets.
• The technical curiosity and credibility to engage with engineering-led businesses and customers.
• A willingness to travel extensively across international markets.

This is a rare opportunity to take on a true international leadership role within a growing, engineering-led business.

You’ll have the autonomy to shape the commercial strategy, influence partner selection and build the foundations for long-term international growth.

, this could be an exceptional opportunity.
