This isn't your typical Business Development Manager opportunity.

Imagine working with prestigious clients, exceptional properties and high-value construction projects, where your role is less about cold calling and more about building relationships and bringing ambitious projects to life.

We are representing a highly regarded, family-run business specialising in premium construction, property renovation and high-value refurbishment projects.

With an outstanding reputation for craftsmanship and delivering projects worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, they work alongside architects, property professionals and prestigious clients.

The Opportunity

Forget endless cold calling and chasing uninterested clients.

This business has invested in established lead-generation systems that consistently identify genuine project opportunities.

Your role will be to develop these opportunities, build relationships and convert enquiries into successful projects.

You'll be visiting impressive properties, meeting architects and clients, and discussing everything from specialist brickwork and structural improvements to bespoke joinery, carpentry and complete property transformations.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing and converting incoming project enquiries generated through established systems.
• Building relationships with architects, property owners, developers and construction professionals.
• Attending site visits to understand requirements and identify opportunities.
• Working with internal teams to develop estimates, proposals and tailored solutions.
