You already understand the UK water industry.
Frameworks, AMP cycles, procurement routes, utilities, contractors. You know how it all works.
The question is, are you in a role where that knowledge is fully being used to drive real commercial growth?
We’re supporting a well-established international engineering business in the water sector, who are now looking for a Business Development Manager to take ownership of growth across their wastewater division.
This is a role for someone who can win new business, develop strategic customer relationships and spot commercial opportunities others are missing.
There is strong focus on new business development, but also significant untapped potential within existing customer accounts where there is currently no dedicated commercial ownership.
Working closely with the Sales Director and senior leadership team, you’ll help shape commercial strategy, drive growth across key UK water customers, and play a central role in the continued development of the division.
This is not just about maintaining relationships. It’s about building them, growing them, and turning them into long-term commercial partnerships.
The Opportunity
The business is entering an exciting period of growth and investment.
While there is a strong focus on winning new business, there is also substantial growth potential within existing customer accounts. With no dedicated commercial ownership of several key relationships, there is considerable scope to identify and develop untapped revenue streams.
This is more than a traditional sales role. You'll be involved in shaping commercial strategy, influencing future growth plans and helping build the foundations for the next generation of commercial leadership within the business.
As the division continues to grow, there will also be opportunities to progress into team leadership and management responsibilities.

* Building relationships with major water companies, contractors and framework partners
* Identifying and converting new business opportunities
* Managing and developing strategic customer accounts

* Working closely with technical, operational and commercial teams to deliver customer-focused solutions
* Contributing to bids, tenders and commercial proposals
* Representing the business at industry events and customer meetings

* Playing an active role in shaping future sales and growth strategies
About You

* A strong understanding of framework agreements and contract management
* Knowledge of UK water utilities and their procurement processes
* Experience selling technical or engineered solutions
* A proven track record of generating and converting new business opportunities
* Experience supporting bids, tenders and major projects
* Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
