Business Development Manager
Coppull, Chorley (office-based with national travel)
£40,000 basic + commission + 8% performance bonus

I’m working on behalf of a well-established, growing building services consultancy looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to focus on long-term work winning and relationship-led growth.
This isn’t a transactional sales role. It’s about building pipelines properly, converting quality enquiries, and playing a key part in the next phase of growth.

The Role
• Focus on long-term conversion and pipeline development
• Manage and grow relationships across multiple sectors
• National travel as required
• Office-based environment
• Autonomy to utilise advertising, networking and social media
• Selling the service – not overly technical, but credible
Projects range from residential extensions through to £100m+ schemes across sectors including commercial, healthcare, infrastructure and engineering.

The Candidate – What We’re Really Looking For
This role will suit someone who is:
• Proactive – you don’t sit and wait for leads
• A self-starter – comfortable managing your own time
• Driven and hungry to progress
• Confident on the phone and face-to-face
• Enthusiastic and engaging
• Able to build long-term relationships (not quick wins)
• Comfortable in a structured, professional office environment
• Target-focused and commercially aware
• Able to take ownership of projects and pipeline

You’ll ideally come from:
• Construction
• M&E
• Architecture
• Engineering

3–5 years’ experience minimum in a business development or work-winning capacity.
Most importantly — attitude matters. They want someone who will push limits, take ownership and genuinely want to grow with the business.

Package
• £40k basic
• Commission
• Mileage paid
• Healthcare
• Phone & laptop
• Birthday off
• Christmas Closure
• Company events
• Clear progression opportunity

Core hours are 9–5 (9–3 Friday), with flexibility required around travel and meetings.

This is a long-term opportunity with real growth potential for the right person.
