Business development manager

Business Development Manager - Newtownabbey

Competitive + Bonus + Car Allowance + Benefits

"You've shaken enough hands and eaten enough rubber chicken dinners. Fancy selling something that actually saves lives?"

We're a global leader in fire safety consultancy. We're looking for a Business Development Manager from construction or related sectors. No vague job descriptions. No cut-and-paste.

Is this you?

You've got 5+ years in business development, ideally in construction, civils, or building materials. You know fire safety isn't a tick-box. You're bored of selling things that don't matter—and really bored of job ads that read like legal documents.

What you'll actually enjoy

• Finding new clients (architects, contractors, regulators) who need fire testing.
• Helping them navigate complex regulations. You'll be the person they call when they're stuck.
• Writing proposals that win work. Proper persuasive ones.
• Conferences, meetings, site visits. Fewer sad sandwiches. More engineering.

Where

A multinational consultancy with labs across Europe. We're who builders call when they don't want their building to burn down. Serious technical leader. Not a beanbag startup.

What you'll get

• Salary that respects your experience + bonus + car allowance
• A boss who actually supports you
• Real progression (Sarah got promoted. Could you?)
• A CRM that won't make you rage-quit

What you'll need

• 5+ years in BD or sales.
• A degree? Helpful. MBA? Nice, not essential.
• You can write a proposal that doesn't put people to sleep.
• You're fine with a bit of science (we'll teach you the rest).
