Overview

We’re looking for a commercially driven Business Development Manager who knows how to operate in the real world of construction and fit-out. You’ll be joining a well-established company delivering high-value refurbishment and reconfiguration projects across the UK. From office transformations to large-scale commercial refurbishments, the team brings together design, build, and delivery with a strong reputation for quality and performance.

This isn’t just a relationship role — you’ll need to bring market insight, real commercial value, and the ability to deliver £2–3 million per year in new work.

Key Responsibilities

Secure new business from developers, contractors, architects, landlords, and consultants
Build trusted, long-term relationships across the construction and property landscape
Understand project detail and commercial implications to shape compelling proposals
Attend client sites and meetings to assess requirements and advise on delivery
Work closely with internal teams across estimating, design, and project management
Represent the business credibly in both technical and client-facing conversations

Experience dealing directly with contractors, developers, and design professionals
Credibility on-site and understanding of how projects are scoped and delivered
Strong commercial acumen — confident pricing, negotiating, and closing deals
Based in the North (Yorkshire / surrounding) with UK-wide travel as required
Self-starter with the hunger to build a pipeline and deliver real results

The Right Fit

You’re not just “good with people” — you understand this sector inside out. You know how to talk to contractors, how to navigate challenges on-site, and how to close deals with commercial logic and clarity. Architects and consultants are part of your network, but your strength is converting conversations into work and following it through. You’ll thrive in a no-nonsense, delivery-focused environment where what you bring in, you get rewarded for.
