Location: Milton Keynes, covering clients mainly within a one-hour radius

Salary: Up to £70,000 plus car or car allowance

Bonus: Uncapped – the more business you win, the more you earn

About the Business:

This is an established, privately owned construction and M&E business with a strong name in the market, a solid client base and turnover of around £30 million. The business is already well set up, with a skilled and supportive team across estimating and delivery, so you will have the backing needed to turn opportunities into completed work. The next target is £50 million, and this appointment will play a key part in building on existing relationships and developing new regional business. Projects cover M&E, small works, reactive maintenance and facilities management across logistics, the public sector, healthcare, defence and interiors.

Job Overview:

You will not be starting from scratch. The company already has a strong client base, repeat business and a capable team around you. Your job will be to build on that platform, open new doors and grow the regional business. Covering mainly within an hour of Milton Keynes, you will have the freedom to shape the sales strategy and put your own plan into action. Much of your time will be spent meeting clients, visiting businesses, networking and entertaining key contacts. Once an opportunity is secured and qualified, the estimating and delivery teams will support you with pricing, handover and delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

·Develop and deliver a practical regional sales plan, targeting construction and M&E opportunities that support the company’s growth from £30 million to £50 million.

·Use your contacts and market knowledge to open doors, create meetings and win new projects across logistics, the public sector, healthcare, defence, interiors, M&E, small works, reactive maintenance and facilities management.

·Build strong regional relationships through client meetings, regular visits, networking and appropriate client entertainment, while developing existing accounts and creating new opportunities.

·Keep close to upcoming frameworks, tenders and regional opportunities, negotiating commercially sound terms and focusing on work the business can deliver well.

·Qualify opportunities and work with the estimating and delivery teams on pricing, proposals, handover and delivery.

·Manage the sales pipeline, report on progress and keep opportunities moving through to a decision.

What We’re Looking For:

·Proven business development experience within construction, M&E or facilities management, with a strong understanding of the market and how projects are won and delivered.

·A strong network of construction and M&E contacts, with the confidence to turn relationships into meetings and live opportunities.

·A confident, money-motivated new-business professional who enjoys meeting people, opening doors, negotiating and closing deals.

·Commercially aware and organised, with the ability to manage a pipeline, assess suitable opportunities and keep deals moving.

·Comfortable travelling regionally for client meetings, visits, networking and client entertainment.

·Experience of winning work through frameworks would be a real advantage, particularly across the public sector, healthcare or defence.
