We are an established high-end residential construction company seeking an experienced Business Development Consultant to generate new construction opportunities and build long‑term relationships with property investors, developers, private clients and industry professionals.
Our projects include bespoke new-build homes, luxury refurbishments, complex extensions, loft conversions, landscaping and external works. We are also looking to expand into multi‑home residential developments, including small housing estates.
You will use your existing professional network, develop new strategic partnerships and identify suitable projects at an early stage.
Working closely with the Managing Director and estimating team, you will help progress opportunities through tendering, negotiation and contract award.
Your primary responsibility is to create new business opportunities, secure profitable projects and develop relationships that generate repeat business, rather than manage incoming sales enquiries.

Maintain relationships with existing contacts and clients to encourage repeat projects and referrals
Keep accurate CRM records and provide regular updates on business development activities, opportunities and next steps
Help convert suitable opportunities into signed contracts and coordinate a structured handover to the internal team
Requirements
