Are you ready to take charge of one of the most exciting and rewarding business development roles in the engineering space?

We’re partnering with a UK-based engineering manufacturer with a reputation built on innovation, technical excellence, and a track record spanning decades. This company has become a recognised name in multiple disciplines with growth to come from engineering-heavy sectors including Automotive to Marine, Nuclear to Defence, and Power Generation. Now, as they enter an exciting new growth phase, they’re looking for a Business Development Manager to spearhead their push into these core markets.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Identifying and engaging new business opportunities across your local UK territory

• Attending site visits, customer meetings, and industry events to build strong face-to-face relationships
• Working closely with internal engineering and product teams to tailor solutions to client needs
• Taking full ownership of the sales cycle—from initial contact to deal close

What You’ll Need:

• Proven experience in B2B sales—ideally from an industrial, engineering, or technical product environment
• A hunger to break into new accounts and open doors with key decision-makers
• Strong commercial acumen and the ability to sell on value, not just price
• Excellent communication skills and the credibility to engage with engineers, project leads, and procurement teams
• A self-starting attitude—this role offers freedom and autonomy, so you’ll need to thrive on it

Why You’ll Want This Job:

• Uncapped commission—earn what you're worth
• £40 – 50,000 basic salary
• Company car or generous car allowance (£8000 per year)
• Work for a respected market leader with a well-known product portfolio
• Real progression opportunities as the company expands its footprint across the UK and Europe

If you’re a tenacious, technically curious, and commercially driven sales professional, this is your opportunity to join a company that builds things that matter—and will invest in your long-term success.
