Building the Next Generation of UK Infrastructure
The UK energy transition isn’t waiting, and neither are we.
Our client an agile, fast-scaling innovator in critical power infrastructure is looking for a commercially sharp Business Development Manager to drive their next wave of growth. If you want to move past traditional account management and take ownership of high-stakes, complex deals across the BESS, Substation, and Control Building sectors, this is your seat at the table.
What You’ll Be Doing As The Business Development Manager
With a proven engineering team and market-leading products already in place, your remit is simple: open doors and build commercial momentum across the Midlands, North East, and Scotland. You will focus on Tier 1 and Tier 2 EPCs, DNOs, and major energy developers.
- Pipeline Generation: Map out key regional targets, identify the real decision-makers, and turn cold prospects into long-term commercial partnerships—whether that happens in a boardroom or over a pint after an industry conference.
- Creative Outreach: Design and run multi-channel prospecting campaigns. When standard emails go unanswered, you pick up the phone, leverage your network, and find a smarter angle in.
- Deal Structuring & Growth: Partner directly with the executive team to shape and close major infrastructure contracts, maintaining a clean, accurate CRM that tracks your commercial impact in real time.
- Product Mastery: Get close to the engineering. You’ll spend time on-site and in the factory to understand the technical edge of our substation housings and control buildings so you can pitch with genuine authority.
What You Bring As a Business Development Manager
- Commercial Track Record: 3+ years in a B2B sales or business development role. A background in energy, construction, EPCs, or industrial manufacturing is a strong plus, though raw commercial instinct and drive matter more than a pre-existing black book.
- Natural Presence: You hold your own in technical and executive rooms, ask the right questions under pressure, and build rapport effortlessly.
- Hands-On Mindset: You prefer seeing how things are built rather than just reading a specification sheet, translating real-world engineering value into commercial wins.
- Regional Reach: Remote-first, with easy travel access to key hubs around the Midlands, Manchester, or Glasgow to stay connected with both clients and the wider team.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Real Equity Potential: Join a high-growth SME where your commercial wins are visible from day one, with clear pathways to share options as the company scales.
- Direct Leadership Access: Work side by side with founders and industry veterans who operate with transparency, speed, and zero corporate red tape.
- Purpose-Led Growth: Build a rewarding commercial career inside a mission-driven, B Corp-certified environment actively decarbonising the UK grid.
