Job Description

Business Development Manager

Rail Engineering Sector UK Travel Excellent Career Growth Opportunity

Are you a commercially driven Business Development Manager with experience selling technical solutions into engineering, manufacturing, rail, or industrial markets?

We're partnering with a well-established and growing engineering business seeking a Business Development Manager to drive expansion across the UK rail sector. This is an opportunity to join a respected technical organisation that is investing heavily in growth, has secured significant long-term contracts, and is looking to strengthen its commercial team.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a traditional sales role.

You'll be responsible for identifying, developing and securing high-value business opportunities across rail operators, rolling stock manufacturers, maintainers and engineering contractors. Working closely with technical and operational teams, you'll engage customers early in the project lifecycle, helping shape commercially viable engineering solutions that deliver long-term value.

The successful candidate will focus on developing a pipeline of major projects, refurbishment programmes, framework agreements and strategic customer relationships, ultimately driving sustainable revenue growth.

What's on Offer?

  • Opportunity to join a growing engineering business with significant investment plans
  • Access to major UK rail projects and programmes
  • A supportive, collaborative culture with strong technical expertise
  • Genuine autonomy to develop new business opportunities
  • Long-term career progression within an expanding organisation
  • Competitive salary, bonus and benefits package

About You

We're keen to speak with ambitious sales professionals who can demonstrate:

  • A proven track record in business development, technical sales or account growth
  • Experience selling engineered products, services or solutions in a B2B environment
  • Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
  • Experience managing longer, consultative sales cycles
  • Confidence discussing technical applications and customer requirements
  • A proactive approach to generating opportunities rather than relying on inbound enquiries

If you're an ambitious Business Development Manager looking for a role where you can make a genuine commercial impact, we'd love to hear from you.
