I’m partnering exclusively with a long-established engineering business in Forfar to recruit a Business Development Manager who can unlock the full commercial potential of their on-site galvanising plant. This is a standout opportunity for someone with industry awareness, technical curiosity, and the drive to build a new revenue stream within a respected Scottish manufacturer.
