Posted: May 4th, 2026
Office Location: Stanlow Manufacturing Complex, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The position is site-based but will occasionally travel for field meetings and industry events.
EET (Essar Energy Transition) plays a major role in supplying the Northwest and the wider UK with essential fuels. We produce over 16% of the UK’s road fuels, supply key feedstocks to the petrochemical industry, and are investing heavily in low‑carbon energy solutions.
We work with major retail fuel brands, supermarkets, Manchester Airport, leading airlines, and regional transport operators. We are also a key partner in the HyNet project, helping to deliver the region’s low‑carbon future.
With over 900 skilled colleagues, we offer a strong safety culture, technically challenging work, and some of the best training in the energy sector.
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Business Development Manager in the Downstream oil & energy sector to support our ambitious growth agenda, focused on diversifying revenue streams and increasing overall business value. This strategy will generate a high volume of new market entry opportunities, requiring thorough evaluation, assessment, and delivery of new opportunities.
The role will work closely with the Head of Business Development and is ideally suited to commercially astute, entrepreneurial individuals who enjoy applying their business acumen within a fast‑paced, growth‑focused environment.
You’ll ideally hold a commercial (or related) degree, although equivalent commercial experience is equally valued. You will have strong B2B sales experience and a proven ability to manage and close complex commercial deals, ideally within downstream oil/refining, commodities, or a related sector.
Highly analytical and experienced in Sales and Business Development, you will bring strong knowledge of the downstream oil and refined products market. With a demonstrable track record in relationship management and lead generation, you will be a strategic thinker who can assess opportunities, negotiate effectively, and influence stakeholders through clear, confident, and persuasive communication.
You will be proficient in Microsoft and comfortable using CRM tools. You apply excellent active listening to identify, prospect, and convert new business opportunities. Highly organised and resilient, you will adapt to changing priorities and bring ambition, creativity, and drive to deliver commercial growth.
The role requires a hybrid approach, combining office‑based work with regular field visits; therefore a full driving licence for use in the UK is required.
