They are now investing in expanding their commercial team to drive the next phase of growth.
The Opportunity
This is a genuine entry-level route into the infrastructure and utilities sector.
You do not need ICP or utilities experience.

* Book meetings for senior team members and attend to learn the market
* Qualify new opportunities and support early-stage project discussions
* Assist with tender support and proposal coordination
* Maintain CRM records and track activity against clear targets
* Attend networking events and industry forums
Over time, you’ll take ownership of your own accounts and projects, often linked to schemes valued at £1m+.
What We’re Looking For
* Exposure to sales or outreach (any sector)
* Comfortable with proactive contact and relationship building
* Confident, resilient and commercially minded
* Organised and target-driven
* Ambitious and motivated by progression
* Happy with UK travel and 3–4 days per week in Durham HQ
You Do NOT Need
