About the role

We’re hiring a Business Development Manager to lead commercial growth for a fast-growing consultancy - one where technical credibility is already firmly established.

You’ll inherit a loyal client base and help shape the company’s commercial strategy in pursuit of its next stage of growth.

This is a retained assignment, managed exclusively by Consortium, representing a strategic, long-term hire for our client.

You’ll build meaningful relationships, cross-sell smartly, and unlock growth across energy, civils, renewables, and asset inspection.

Why this role stands out

• You’ll lead - not follow. This is the company’s first dedicated commercial hire. You’ll help write the plan, not just execute it.
• You’ll inherit trust - from clients and delivery teams who value long-term, consultative relationships.
• You’ll work across high-impact sectors - including renewables, civils and inspection, with access to major frameworks and public/private clients.
• You’ll operate autonomously - hybrid working, outcome-focused, and well-supported by senior leadership.
• You’ll have clarity - this is a retained and prioritised role. You’re not being benchmarked - you’re being brought in to deliver.

Key responsibilities

• Grow strategic accounts through targeted cross-selling and relationship expansion
• Drive new client acquisition selectively across energy, civils, infrastructure
• Engage senior-level buyers and technical influencers with confidence
• Work with in-house engineers, bid and commercial teams on client proposals
• Develop and execute a commercially credible strategy for long-term growth

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Are a consultative Business Development Manager or Key Account Manager with a technical/commercial mindset
• Have experience in engineering, infrastructure, civils or renewables
• Know how to balance farming and strategic new business
• Want a seat at the table, not just a sales target
• Value autonomy, impact, and being part of something long-term

Package & Benefits

• £65,000 - £75,000 base salary
• Realistic OTE of £85,000 - £100,000+
• Hybrid work setup - travel to client/HQ as needed
• Company car/allowance, pension, private healthcare
• Clear opportunity to grow with the company’s commercial evolution
