Crown Energy is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Business Development Manager with a background in gas, electric and/or water infrastructure to join our team.

This is a hands-on commercial role combining business development, client relationship management and project coordination. You’ll identify and secure new opportunities while managing utility infrastructure projects from initial enquiry and quotation through to delivery and completion.

Working across gas, electricity and water infrastructure, you’ll support clients with new connections, diversions and multi-utility requirements, acting as a key point of contact throughout the project lifecycle.

You’ll work closely with developers, contractors, network operators, utility providers and internal teams to develop solutions that are commercially sound, technically accurate and delivered effectively.

What you’ll be doing

  • Identifying and securing new business opportunities across gas, electric and water infrastructure
  • Developing a strong pipeline of new and existing client opportunities
  • Managing projects from initial enquiry and quotation through to completion
  • Understanding client requirements and coordinating appropriate utility infrastructure solutions
  • Liaising with developers, contractors, ICPs, DNOs, IDNOs, water authorities and other industry stakeholders
  • Preparing and managing quotations, project updates and client communications
  • Acting as a key point of contact for clients throughout the project lifecycle
  • Coordinating with internal teams to support safe, efficient and timely project delivery
  • Building and developing long-term client relationships
  • Monitoring market activity, industry developments and competitor activity to identify new opportunities
  • Maintaining accurate customer, project and sales pipeline information within our CRM system
  • Working towards agreed revenue, sales and business growth targets

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

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.
