Senior Business Development Manager

Type: Full-time, Permanent
About the Opportunity
We are representing a well-established and growing engineering business operating within the heat exchanger sector, supporting clients across oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, and power generation industries. Due to continued growth and significant investment in UK operations, the business is expanding its commercial team and is looking to appoint a senior, commercially focused Business Development Manager. This is a key strategic hire, offering the opportunity to play a central role in driving long‑term growth.
The Role
This is a business development‑led role, focused on identifying opportunities, building relationships, and securing new work across key industrial markets. The position is home‑based, with occasional travel across the UK to meet customers, attend site visits, and develop relationships. You will engage with major organisations and develop a pipeline of technically complex projects, working closely with internal teams to support delivery. This is not a trainee or development position; the business is looking for someone who can bring experience, credibility, and industry knowledge from day one.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and develop new business opportunities across target sectors
- Build relationships with key stakeholders within industrial organisations
- Generate enquiries and develop a strong pipeline of work
- Engage in technical and commercial discussions with customers
- Attend customer meetings and site visits across the UK as required
- Support proposal and quotation processes alongside internal teams
- Manage opportunities through to successful completion
- Collaborate with internal engineering and project teams
About You
- Proven experience in sales or business development within the heat exchanger industry
- Strong exposure to oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, or power generation sectors
- Track record of developing new business and securing projects
- Technically capable, with the ability to understand and discuss engineering solutions
- Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills
- An established network of industry contacts is highly desirable
- Self‑motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote role
What Success Looks Like
- Building relationships and generating new opportunities in the first 3‑6 months
- Developing a pipeline of enquiries and project work
- Contributing to sustained business growth over time
What’s on Offer
- Home‑based role with flexibility and autonomy
- Opportunity to join a growing and well‑invested engineering business
- Work on technically complex and high‑value projects
- A role with real commercial impact and responsibility
- Long‑term career development within a stable organisation
Important
This role requires relevant industry experience. Candidates without exposure to heat exchangers or similar sectors are unlikely to be suitable.
