Today, Synergize forms part of Grosvenor House Group (GHG) - a growing national group bringing together specialist businesses across facilities management, refurbishment, passive fire protection and property services. Being part of GHG means combining the agility and close-knit culture of a specialist contractor with the stability, investment and long-term opportunities of a larger organisation delivering projects across the UK.

As our business continues to grow, we're looking for talented people who want to make a genuine impact, help shape the future of the business, and develop their careers within an ambitious and expanding group.

• Work closely with operational teams to understand capability, market opportunities and client requirements.
• Maintain accurate pipeline reporting and provide regular updates on business development activity.
• Attend industry events, client meetings and networking opportunities to represent Synergize.
