A major UK critical infrastructure contractor, turnover in the hundreds of millions and growing fast, is looking for an entrepreneurial Business Unit Director to build a brand new South East operation from the ground up.
This is a genuine build role. You'll have full P&L accountability from day one, with a clear mandate to win contract work across DNOs, IDNOs, ICPs and private networks, establish the brand in the region, and grow it into a standalone division with a multi-million-pound turnover target within 3 to 5 years.

- Winning substation and T&D contract work across DNOs, IDNOs, ICPs and private networks in the South East
- Building a clear business plan with tangible Year 1, 3 and 5 targets
- Establishing key strategic partnerships in the region
- Building the brand and pipeline from scratch
- Recruiting and growing a team once turnover and profit are established
- Owning the division's P&L in full
