Are you a natural relationship builder with a proven track record in field sales? Do you thrive on autonomy, love getting out on the road, and enjoy working with technically tailored solutions?

An exciting opportunity has opened up for a Business Development Manager to join a fast-growing, design-led engineering company specialising in bespoke pumping systems for commercial and industrial applications.

This is a brand-new position with a clear remit: build and nurture relationships with key customers across the South of the UK. You’ll be targeting civil engineering firms, M&E contractors, property developers, and main contractors, selling bespoke pumping stations and service solutions that require a consultative, solution-oriented approach.

You'll manage the full sales cycle, from booking your own appointments to closing deals, often working closely with the company's in-house design and engineering teams.

The role involves extensive travel across the region and nights away from home. Expect to be in the office no more than one day a week.

• Drive revenue and margin growth across strategic accounts.
• Develop and execute key account plans that build long-term partnerships.
• Become an expert on customer needs, both current and emerging, and ensure solutions are aligned.
• Work closely with internal departments to deliver a seamless customer experience.
• Maintain high ethical and professional standards, representing the brand with credibility and confidence.
• Stay up to date on market and competitor activity to help shape strategy.

What We’re Looking For

• A seasoned field salesperson with a strong track record in B2B account development.
• Ideally from a construction, capital equipment, or technical services background (not essential).
• Someone who can self-manage and thrives on accountability and results.
• A confident communicator able to engage everyone from site managers to directors.
• Willing and able to spend regular nights away on the road.
• Industry experience in pumping, civil engineering, or M&E is a plus, but not essential. Full product training is provided.

• A rare chance to build a territory from the ground up with a supportive and ambitious company.
• Full autonomy to manage your own diary and sales approach.
• A team-oriented environment that values integrity, impact, and continuous growth.
• Clear progression as the business scales toward its £10m revenue target.
