Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager – Newtownabbey
Competitive + Bonus + Car Allowance + Benefits

"You’ve shaken enough hands and eaten enough rubber chicken dinners. Fancy selling something that actually saves lives?"

We’re a global leader in fire safety consultancy. We’re looking for a Business Development Manager from construction or related sectors. No vague job descriptions. No cut-and-paste.

Is this you?
You’ve got 5+ years in business development, ideally in construction, civils, or building materials. You know fire safety isn’t a tick-box. You’re bored of selling things that don’t matter—and really bored of job ads that read like legal documents.

What you’ll actually enjoy:

• Finding new clients (architects, contractors, regulators) who need fire testing.

• Helping them navigate complex regulations. You’ll be the person they call when they’re stuck.

• Writing proposals that win work. Proper persuasive ones.

• Conferences, meetings, site visits. Fewer sad sandwiches. More engineering.

Where?
A multinational consultancy with labs across Europe. We’re who builders call when they don’t want their building to burn down. Serious technical leader. Not a beanbag startup.

What you’ll get:

• Salary that respects your experience + bonus + car allowance

• A boss who actually supports you

• Real progression (Sarah got promoted. Could you?)

• A CRM that won’t make you rage-quit

What you’ll need:
5+ years in BD or sales. A degree? Helpful. MBA? Nice, not essential. You can write a proposal that doesn’t put people to sleep. You’re fine with a bit of science (we’ll teach you the rest).
