Business Development Manager
Rail Engineering Sector | UK Travel | Excellent Career Growth Opportunity
Are you a commercially driven Business Development Manager with experience selling technical solutions into engineering, manufacturing, rail, or industrial markets?
We're partnering with a well-established and growing engineering business seeking a Business Development Manager to drive expansion across the UK rail sector. This is an opportunity to join a respected technical organisation that is investing heavily in growth, has secured significant long-term contracts, and is looking to strengthen its commercial team.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a traditional sales role.
- You'll be responsible for identifying, developing, and securing high-value business opportunities across rail operators, rolling stock manufacturers, maintainers, and engineering contractors.
- Working closely with technical and operational teams, you'll engage customers early in the project lifecycle, helping shape commercially viable engineering solutions that deliver long-term value.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The successful candidate will focus on developing a pipeline of major projects, refurbishment programmes, framework agreements, and strategic customer relationships, ultimately driving sustainable revenue growth.
What's on Offer?
- Opportunity to join a growing engineering business with significant investment plans
- Access to major UK rail projects and programmes
- A supportive, collaborative culture with strong technical expertise
- Genuine autonomy to develop new business opportunities
- Long-term career progression within an expanding organisation
