Client: Civil Engineering Contractor - Pre-Construction Team
We're working with a civil engineering contractor in Glasgow that is looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to join its Pre-Construction team. This is an excellent opportunity for a Design Manager or someone from a design or engineering background who is looking to move away from day-to-day design delivery into a more client-facing and commercially focused role, while still drawing on their technical expertise.
We're particularly keen to speak with individuals who understand how infrastructure projects are developed and delivered, but who are interested in becoming involved earlier in the project lifecycle - building client relationships, identifying opportunities, and helping secure future work. The role will involve regular travel across Scotland and the wider UK for client meetings, networking events, and industry engagements.
About You
- A strong background in civil engineering design or design management
- Experience working on infrastructure or major construction projects
- An understanding of how projects are developed, bid, and secured
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- An interest in client engagement, business development, and strategic growth
- Confidence presenting technical solutions in a commercial environment
- Strong organisational and IT skills, including Microsoft Office, Teams, and CRM systems
- A full UK driving licence
What's on Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Company car, bonus scheme, and pension
- Clear progression opportunities within a growing business
- The chance to move beyond pure design delivery and have a greater influence on project acquisition and business growth
- Exposure to major civil engineering and infrastructure projects across the UK
- Support and development for professionals transitioning into business development
This is a genuine opportunity to move into a strategic, client-facing position without losing touch with the technical side of civil engineering.
