The role
We are looking for a Business Development Manager to identify, develop and secure profitable new business across Pyrotec’s fire-protection services.

Salary: Up to £50,000 plus commission, depending on experience
Package: Company vehicle and pension
Contract: Full-time and permanent
Key responsibilities
- Identify and target organisations that align with Pyrotec’s capabilities and growth priorities.
- Build a consistent pipeline through outbound calling, targeted campaigns, networking, referrals and industry events.
- Arrange meetings, site visits and presentations with facilities and property managers, procurement teams, health and safety professionals and other decision-makers.
- Identify multi-service and longer-term contract opportunities across Pyrotec’s fire-protection portfolio.
- Maintain accurate opportunity records and realistic forecasts in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
- Coordinate surveys, technical input and pricing with relevant internal colleagues.
- Prepare and present professional proposals and commercially viable solutions.
- Negotiate effectively while protecting margin as well as revenue.
- Support suitable tender and framework submissions.
- Complete a structured operational handover once new business has been secured.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Experience preparing proposals, negotiating terms and securing profitable growth.
- Confidence conducting outbound calls, customer meetings, site visits and presentations.
- Experience building, managing and forecasting a multi-stage sales pipeline.
