• Supporting bid strategy alongside pre-construction, estimating, and operational teams
• Identifying where the business can add value early (scope, programme, delivery approach)
• Leading client meetings, presenting capability, and managing the process through to tender
• Tracking activity through CRM and providing clear pipeline updates and forecasts
• Working closely with internal teams to ensure opportunities are pursued selectively and well

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience in business development within building services, M&E, engineering, or construction
• Strong network and confidence engaging at senior client and consultant level
• Solid understanding of how M&E tenders and pre-con processes work (from early engagement to award)
• Commercial awareness and the ability to position solutions clearly and credibly
• Organised approach to pipeline management, reporting, and follow-up
• Full UK driving licence (travel will be required)

Benefits

• Salary: £70,000 - £80,000 depending on experience
• Bonus scheme and benefits package
• Senior role with influence over strategy and pipeline
• Strong platform, recognised engineering capability, and long-term opportunity
