• Supporting sales strategy, contributing to team success, and tracking your pipeline and activity
• Based from home with Fridays typically spent in our Reading or Aylesbury office

What You’ll Bring

• Significant experience in construction recruitment or B2B Business development within the construction sector.
• A confident and professional approach to face-to-face and phone-based client interaction
• Commercial awareness and the ability to spot new business opportunities
• Strong communication skills and a natural ability to build rapport
• A driven, self-motivated mindset with the resilience to thrive in a target-based setting
• Willingness to travel across the region and be office-based one day a week
• Proven track record of working with both regional and national construction companies spanning across the residential and commercial markets
• Ability to draw on previous partnerships to drive new business into the company

What’s in It for You

• Competitive base salary with uncapped commission
• Michelin-star dining, VIP experience days, luxury holidays including New York and Dubai
• Private healthcare or gym membership
• Hybrid working structure with autonomy over your diary
• Early Friday finishes, free parking, laptop and phone
