Are you an experienced Business Development Manager who enjoys being out in the market, building relationships and creating new opportunities?
We are recruiting for an established national contractor that provides a reliable, high-quality service to customers across the UK.
This is a field-based role covering Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk, with support from the regional office.

You will be supported by experienced bid, marketing and regional operational teams, allowing you to focus on opening doors, developing relationships and generating the right opportunities.
