• Single-Ply Membrane Roofing Systems - Protan-qualified installations known for durability and performance

Role Overview
This is a strategic, client-facing role focused on winning new business rather than traditional estimating. The successful candidate will play a key role in driving growth by identifying opportunities, building relationships, and securing projects and tenders.

Key Responsibilities
• Proactively identify, pursue, and secure new business opportunities

• Leverage existing industry contacts to generate immediate opportunities
• Collaborate with internal teams (estimating, operations, and manufacturing) to ensure competitive and deliverable proposals
• Represent the business at meetings, networking events, and client presentations
• Contribute to overall business growth strategy and market positioning
Key Requirements
• Proven track record in winning work within construction, joinery, or specialist subcontracting
• Strong network of contacts within main contractors and/or end clients
• Experience in a Pre-Construction, Business Development, or similar role
• Commercial awareness and understanding of tendering processes
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of the sales pipeline
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
• Knowledge of fire doors, joinery, or roofing systems is advantageous but not essential
What's on Offer
• Competitive salary or flexible freelance arrangement
• Discretionary bonus linked directly to work won
• Opportunity to play a pivotal role in a growing, specialist business
• Support from an experienced technical and operational team
• Long-term career development potential
