Business Development Manager | Temporary Power & Energy
£50,000–£60,000 + Bonus + Car Allowance + Benefits
South London & South East
An established provider of temporary power solutions is expanding its commercial presence across South London and the South East and is appointing a Business Development Manager to support that growth.
The region is active, commercially important and already generating demand across infrastructure, construction and industrial markets. Typical customers include contractors, civil engineering firms and industrial operators requiring temporary and back-up power. Historically, it has been supported on a reactive basis across multiple regions, with a high volume of incoming enquiries and short-term hires. The requirement now is for dedicated ownership, stronger account development and improved conversion of this demand into repeat, contracted work.
This role exists to increase conversion rates, secure repeat business and grow regional revenue across existing and new accounts.
The Role
This position is focused on developing a defined territory across South London and the South East where demand already exists but has not been fully converted into long-term commercial relationships.
The responsibility is to build a consistent presence across the region, engaging contractors, industrial customers and end users, and turning early-stage opportunities and incoming enquiries into secured work.

A track record of opening new accounts and generating repeat business, not just managing inbound or reactive work
Experience selling into contractors, infrastructure projects or industrial customers

A consultative approach, focused on understanding requirements and selling on value rather than discounting

Confidence operating across multiple stakeholders, both internally and externally
