Job Description:

Business Development Manager Newtownabbey

Competitive + Bonus + Car Allowance + Benefits

“Youve shaken enough hands and eaten enough rubber chicken dinners. Fancy selling something that actually saves lives?”

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

Is this you?

Youve got 5+ years in business development, ideally in construction, civils, or building materials. You know fire safety isnt a tick-box. Youre bored of selling things that dont matterand really bored of job ads that read like legal documents.

What youll actually enjoy:

Finding new clients (architects, contractors, regulators) who need fire testing.

Helping them navigate complex regulations. Youll be the person they call when theyre 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. Were who builders call when they dont want their building to burn down. Serious technical leader. Not a beanbag startup.

What youll get:

Salary that respects your experience + bonus + car allowance

A boss who actually supports you

Real progression (Sarah got promoted. Could you?)

Pension – employer contribution 7%

What youll need:

5+ years in BD or sales. A degree? Helpful. MBA? Nice, not essential. You can write a proposal that doesnt put people to sleep. Youre fine with a bit of science (well teach you the rest).
