Turn Waste Into Opportunity. Build Relationships. Make Great Money.
Some sales jobs are all about selling the same product to the same people every day.
This isn't one of them.
We're looking for a commercially minded, energetic Business Development Executive to join a growing, market-leading business operating in the construction and infrastructure sector. You don't need industry experience. In fact, we'd rather hire the right person with the right attitude.
What matters is that you're curious, driven, enjoy speaking to people and aren't afraid to roll your sleeves up to understand how things work.
One day you could be in the office identifying opportunities. The next, you're out visiting customers, walking a site, following a tipper lorry's journey, and uncovering commercial opportunities others have completely missed.
If the idea of spotting an opportunity, picking up the phone, building relationships and making things happen excites you, you'll fit right in.
What's the role?
You'll be helping construction businesses find smarter, more sustainable ways to move and reuse materials between sites.
Think soil, aggregates, excavated material and construction by-products that would otherwise become waste.
Your job is to identify opportunities, engage new customers, build long-term relationships and create commercial solutions that benefit everyone involved.
This isn't a transactional sales role.
It's consultative, relationship-driven and genuinely makes a positive environmental impact.
We're looking for someone who:
Loves building relationships and talking to new people
Is naturally curious and asks questions
Enjoys getting out from behind a desk and meeting customers face-to-face
Has the confidence to pick up the phone and create opportunities
Gets a buzz from winning business
Can spot opportunities others overlook
Wants to learn a specialist industry from experienced experts
Is self-motivated, resilient and happy working autonomouslyPrevious sales experience would be beneficial, but attitude, energy and a willingness to learn are far more important.
Why join?
£35,000 basic salary
Realistic OTE of £55,000+
Established, growing and highly respected business
Genuine career progression opportunities
Hybrid mix of office, field and customer-facing activity
Family-oriented culture with regular social and family events
Supportive leadership team that genuinely invests in its people
Unique, sustainable industry that's helping transform how construction materials are reused across the UKThe opportunity
This is the type of role where no two days are the same.
You'll be learning something new, meeting different people, solving commercial challenges and helping build a greener, more sustainable construction industry.
If you're ambitious, commercially aware and looking for a sales role that's a little different from the norm, we'd love to hear from you.
