Business Development Manager

A specialist UK marine and civil engineering contractor — backed by private equity and entering a significant growth phase — is seeking a Business Development professional to drive national expansion.

This is a strategic, relationship-driven position focused on shaping markets, influencing opportunities pre-tender, and building long-term revenue partnerships across marine infrastructure and specialist contracting environments.

You will:

  • Identify and originate marine civil and infrastructure opportunities nationally.
  • Develop senior relationships with Tier 1 & Tier 2 contractors, consultants, authorities and framework bodies.
  • Represent the business at industry events and national forums.

You are:

  • Confident with leaning on your contacts to open and win projects with the Marine Infrastructure sector.
  • Structured in pipeline management and forecasting.
  • Motivated by building sustainable revenue, not short-term wins.

The Opportunity

  • Private equity-backed growth trajectory.
  • Exposure to technically complex, high-value infrastructure projects.
  • ESG-led organisation with strong market reputation.
  • Circa £65k plus car or allowance, bonus
