Construction Business Development Manager

Your new company

You’ll be joining a forward‑thinking construction business with a strong reputation for delivering high‑quality projects and building long‑term client relationships. The organisation is expanding its commercial and development activity and now requires a Construction Business Development Manager to drive new opportunities and support project delivery. The role is full‑time and based across office and site environments.

Your new role

You’ll be responsible for sourcing and securing new tenders, development opportunities and land promotion leads. Acting as a key “deal maker”, you’ll support pre‑construction through to post‑construction, oversee tender planning, review contractual terms, liaise with internal teams, and help progress planning permissions. You’ll meet regularly with clients, consultants and supply chain partners to build relationships, pursue opportunities and support successful project delivery.

What you'll need to succeed

You’ll bring strong entrepreneurial drive, excellent communication skills and a solid understanding of construction processes. Commercial awareness, negotiation ability and confidence managing contractual risk are essential. You’ll be organised, able to plan effectively, work under pressure and build strong relationships at all levels. A proactive, opportunity‑focused mindset and the ability to influence outcomes will be key to your success.

What you'll get in return

You’ll join a motivated, ambitious delivery team where you’ll play a central role in shaping growth, securing new work and strengthening client partnerships. The position offers autonomy, visibility with senior leadership and the chance to make a meaningful impact across the full project lifecycle.
