Head of Business Development
International Markets | Northern Ireland / UK / Europe | Flexible / Remote
A fast-scaling engineering business is delivering sustainable wet-processing solutions to customers across the global recycling, aggregates and industrial materials markets. As the business enters its next phase of international expansion, we are now looking to appoint a Head of Business Development to lead global revenue growth, develop strategic markets and build a high-performing partner network.
This is a senior, entrepreneurial opportunity for someone who wants genuine ownership, influence and the chance to shape how an engineering business grows internationally. This isn't simply about managing an existing sales territory. You'll be building the market, the partnerships and the commercial strategy for the next stage of growth.
The Role
As Head of Business Development, you will take responsibility for developing new markets, identifying major commercial opportunities and establishing strategic regional partnerships across key international territories.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for an experienced commercial leader who combines sales capability, industry credibility and an entrepreneurial mindset. You'll ideally have:
- Senior B2B sales or business development experience within process plants, materials handling, recycling, aggregates, mining, industrial materials or heavy industry.
- A strong track record selling capital equipment, engineered solutions or turnkey projects.
- A deep industry network and established credibility with senior decision-makers.
- Experience developing strategic partnerships, dealer networks or distribution channels.
- Strong commercial judgement and experience with complex negotiations and high-value projects.
- The ability to operate autonomously and build opportunities in new or underdeveloped markets.
- The technical curiosity and credibility to engage with engineering-led businesses and customers.
- A willingness to travel extensively across international markets.
