You'll play a pivotal role in securing long-term growth for the business and success in this role will be built on your ability to develop trusted relationships with key stakeholders across the sector, including major contractors, consultants and delivery partners.
What You'll Be Doing

- Identifying major project opportunities at the earliest stages and creating winning pursuit strategies.
- Building influential relationships with customers, principal contractors, developers, framework providers and industry stakeholders.
- Securing opportunities for the supply of aggregates, asphalt, concrete and integrated materials solutions across major transportation projects.
- Driving early contractor engagement and helping shape project requirements before tender stage.

- Working closely with operational, technical and commercial teams to ensure we bring the full capability of Tarmac and CRH to every opportunity.
- Identifying opportunities linked to decarbonisation, low-carbon construction and emerging infrastructure trends.
