Tired of sitting behind a desk all day? Want a role where you're out meeting people, building relationships and creating opportunities across the construction industry? Since 2005, One Way has been helping contractors, developers and infrastructure businesses deliver successful projects through specialist recruitment solutions across the UK. As we continue to grow, we're looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Business Development Manager to help expand our presence, strengthen relationships and identify new opportunities throughout the construction sector. This is not a traditional recruitment role. We're looking for someone who enjoys meeting people, developing networks and creating opportunities. You'll become a key representative of the One Way brand, spending your time in the market rather than behind a desk.

The Role

• As a Business Development Manager, you'll be responsible for building relationships across the construction industry, identifying opportunities and helping drive the future growth of the business.
• You'll spend much of your time visiting construction sites, project offices and client locations, developing relationships with key decision-makers and gathering valuable market intelligence.

Key Responsibilities

• Visit construction sites, project offices and client locations throughout the UK.
• Build relationships with site managers, project managers, commercial teams, directors and key decision-makers.
• Identify new projects, opportunities and future recruitment requirements.
• Generate introductions, meetings and commercial opportunities.
• Gather market intelligence and provide valuable insight to the wider business.
• Support the development of existing client relationships.
• Attend networking events, exhibitions and industry functions.
• Work closely with our specialist recruitment teams to maximise opportunities.
• Promote and represent the One Way brand professionally at all times.

What We're Looking For

You may currently work in recruitment, sales, account management, construction, plant hire, building materials, site services, estate agency or another relationship-focused role. More importantly, you'll be someone who:

• Enjoys meeting people and building relationships.
• Is confident, professional and personable.
• Has excellent communication skills.
• Is self-motivated and organised.
• Can work independently and manage your own schedule.
• Is commercially aware and opportunity focused.
• Enjoys travelling and being out in the field.

Essential Requirements

• Full clean UK driving licence.
• Willingness to travel throughout the UK.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• Professional and positive attitude.

What You'll Receive

• Competitive salary.
• Performance-related incentives.
• Car allowance.
• Mobile phone and laptop.
• Pension scheme.
• Ongoing training and development.
• High levels of autonomy and flexibility.
• Opportunity to play a significant role in the growth of an established and respected business.

Additional Information

This is a field-based position. UK-wide travel will be required. Occasional overnight stays may be required depending on business needs. Previous recruitment experience is not essential.
