Unique Role; we are looking for a Business Development Manager and our client would like to employ someone who comes from a technical recruitment background because they value the skills and knowledge someone like that has.

The role involves maintaining and intelligently managing existing clients. It is a rare professional position and an opportunity for a recruiter to take their skills in a different direction. This is a role intelligently managing existing clients and client networks, the position has superb potential and you will not be any cold calling.

Our client is a Mechanical and Electrical Building Services construction contractor who carry out construction project work for major developers, construction companies, facilities management companies and the NHS.

An exceptional and interesting employer, they are looking for a technically-minded relationship manager who can maintain and develop their business contacts. Our client is slightly open minded but require sales experience, knowledge of the construction sector and an ability to develop and maintain lasting business relationships. They think a recruiter with a technical recruitment background would be a perfect match.

The role will involve maintaining contact with buyers, contract managers and engineers, building on successful past project work and ensuring the company is well placed to tender for future contracts. This is not a cold call or hard sell role- we are looking for someone who can think long-term and maintain the existing network built up over many years, as the director responsible for this work at present leans into another part of the business. We need someone intelligent who takes an interest in the work the company does and uses that knowledge effectively.

Possible opportunity to extend the role into Project Management. Part time applicants may also be considered. Any knowledge of the Facilities Management market especially useful. Excellent potential, negotiable good bonus structure. Very friendly team
