Business Area Manager – Construction

Introduction: A role for people who enjoy making things happen. Before you dive in, here’s something important: this job description will look familiar in places because senior commercial roles always come with responsibilities and targets. But at KOREC, we are not looking for someone who simply “ticks the boxes”. We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, building relationships that last, and shaping how the construction industry adopts technology that genuinely changes how people work.

If you’re the type who brings ideas, takes ownership, learns quickly and has the drive to push both yourself and your customers forward, you’ll fit in well here. Technical knowledge is helpful, but the right mindset, curiosity and integrity matter more. We can teach you the products; we can’t teach the attitude.

KOREC has been around for more than 50 years, built on trusted relationships, market-leading Trimble technology, and a team of people who genuinely enjoy what they do. We’re now focused on serious growth within digital construction, and we want someone who’s excited to be part of that journey.

About the role: As a Business Area Manager, you’ll take a leading role in growing KOREC’s Construction presence across the UK. You’ll work directly with contractors, engineers, surveyors and digital delivery teams, helping them adopt smart, connected construction technology that drives productivity and better decision-making. You’ll be at your best if you’re comfortable meeting customers on site, talking through workflows, understanding pain points, and showing how Trimble’s digital solutions can genuinely make their jobs easier, safer and more efficient.

Location: UK (with national travel)

What you’ll be doing:

• Commercial leadership and business development: Shape and deliver a regional growth plan alongside Sales Directors and Construction Consultants. Spot new opportunities across groundworks, civil engineering, vertical construction and infrastructure. Build and maintain a strong, accurate sales pipeline through our CRM.
• Customer engagement and relationship building: Create long-term partnerships with customers across all levels, from site operatives to senior digital leaders. Understand how customers work, where inefficiencies sit, and build solutions tailored to real workflows. Run reviews, demonstrations and conversations that focus on value, not just products.
• Technical and product insight: Grow your understanding of Trimble’s digital construction ecosystem, including GNSS, scanning, mixed reality and software platforms. Work closely with our technical specialists to deliver joined-up solutions that work in the real world. Help articulate why Trimble and why KOREC in a way that resonates with customers.
• Working with the wider team: Collaborate with Sales, Hire, Marketing, Operations and Service teams to ensure an excellent customer experience. Support and share knowledge with consultants across regions. Represent KOREC at events, roadshows, demonstrations and industry discussions.
• Performance and ownership: Take responsibility for the region’s revenue and margin performance. Keep track of activity, opportunities and progress using PipeDrive. Understand what competitors are doing, how the market is shifting and how best to respond.

What we’re looking for:

• Background in construction technology, civil engineering, surveying, digital workflows or similar technical solutions.
• Experience in business development or technical sales.
• Understanding of modern construction methods such as BIM, VDC, digital layout and scanning.
• Confident communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Trimble solutions or similar digital construction platforms.
• Industry experience from site engineering, construction management or digital transformation.
• Familiarity with CRMs or structured sales processes.

Skills and strengths that help you thrive here:

• Strategic thinker with a commercial mindset.

• Confident presenting to people at every level.

• You’ve built a healthy pipeline and a growing customer base.
