Business Development Manager (Contract Sales)

Business Development Manager

Location - Manchester (Middleton) (Hybrid – Office & Field)

Salary - £40,000 + Commission + Car Allowance

Full-time | Monday to Friday

Sell something businesses can’t afford to ignore.

Every commercial property with dry risers, wet risers or sprinkler systems is legally required to have them inspected and maintained.

If they don’t — they’re non‑compliant. It’s that simple.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to win new business, re‑engage lapsed clients, and secure long‑term service contracts across the UK. You’ll be helping organisations stay compliant, safe, and operational — while building a strong pipeline of recurring revenue.

The Role

This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be out meeting clients, walking sites, and building relationships that turn into long‑term contracts.

• Generating new business through outbound activity, networking and site visits
• Re‑engaging lapsed customers and bringing them back on contract
• Conducting site surveys to understand systems and requirements
• Selling PPM (Planned Preventative Maintenance) contracts for:
  • Dry risers
  • Wet risers
  • Sprinkler systems
• Building long‑term relationships with decision‑makers
• Preparing and presenting tailored proposals
• Managing your pipeline using CRM and internal systems
• Working closely with operational teams to ensure smooth delivery

Why this role works

You’re not trying to convince someone they might need your service.

You’re speaking to businesses who already have a legal obligation — your job is to position us as the best partner to deliver it.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven B2B sales background (ideally contract/services‑based)
• Comfortable generating your own pipeline and working to targets
• Resilient – you don’t fall apart after a few knockbacks
• Strong work ethic – you’ll get out what you put in
• Confident dealing with clients face‑to‑face on‑site
• Able to manage your own time and territory
• Full UK driving licence (essential)

Fire industry knowledge is helpful, but not essential – we’ll teach you that.

What You’ll Get

• £40,000 basic salary
• Commission structure with genuine earning potential
• Car or Car allowance
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Hybrid working (office + field)
• Life assurance (3 x salary)
• Pension (Salary sacrifice)
• Full product training and ongoing support
• Access to CRM systems and marketing tools to support your activity
• A role with real progression in a growing group of businesses
