Business Development Manager - Steel Portal Frame Buildings

The opportunity

I'm recruiting a Business Development Manager for a newly established steel portal frame buildings division, backed by an established construction and manufacturing group.

This is the first appointment into the division, so it's an opportunity to take ownership of business development, win new contracts and help establish the business in the market.

Previous experience selling steel portal frame buildings is essential. This isn't a general construction sales role, and experience in modular buildings alone will not be sufficient.

The role

Initially, you'll take responsibility for the commercial side of the business, combining new business development with the management of projects as opportunities progress.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Generating new business and developing a sustainable sales pipeline.

• Building relationships with contractors, developers, end users and consultants.

• Managing opportunities from initial enquiry through pricing and negotiation to contract award.

• Developing budgetary pricing and formal estimates.

• Coordinating with design, estimating and operational teams to develop proposals and deliver projects.

• Managing customer relationships, project requirements and commercial activity.

• Identifying market opportunities and helping shape the future growth of the division.

What I'm looking for

• Demonstrable experience selling steel portal frame buildings. BDM experience in modular / industrial buildings would be considered.

• A proven track record of generating new business and securing contracts.

• Strong commercial awareness, including pricing, estimating and tendering.

• The ability to manage customer relationships and commercial opportunities from initial enquiry through to delivery.

• A self-starting approach, with the confidence to help establish a growing business.

• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel throughout the UK.

Eligibility: Applicants must have full, unrestricted right to work in the UK without requiring visa sponsorship now or in the future.

Location and package

The role is based at the division's offices in Shipton, North Yorkshire. It is an office-based position, alongside regular UK travel for customer meetings and site visits.

The package includes a competitive salary, bonus scheme and car allowance.

Interested?

If you have direct steel portal frame buildings experience and are interested in helping establish a new division, I'd welcome a confidential conversation.
