Benefits: Company Car
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

An established and rapidly growing specialist electrical wholesaler is looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to develop new business across Cambridge, Ipswich, Essex and the surrounding areas.

Operating within the renewable energy sector, the business supplies solar PV, battery storage and associated electrical products and forms part of one of the UK's largest electrical wholesale groups.

Having experienced significant year-on-year growth, the business is now looking to expand its customer base across the region.

This is a predominantly field-based position offering considerable autonomy and the opportunity to develop a territory with significant growth potential.

The Role

As Business Development Manager, you'll be responsible for developing new business, building customer relationships and increasing sales across the territory.

Key responsibilities include:

• Identifying and winning new business across the region.
• Building relationships with electrical contractors, installers and trade customers.
• Promoting the company's range of renewable energy products.
• Developing customer relationships and identifying opportunities to increase sales.
• Working closely with the internal sales team to support customers.
• Managing your own diary and territory independently.

The role will be predominantly field-based, with occasional visits to the Norwich branch.

About You

We're looking for someone with experience in external sales or business development, ideally within electrical wholesale or a related industry.

You'll need:

• Previous B2B sales experience, ideally in a field-based position.
• A proactive approach to winning new business.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to manage your own time and territory independently.
• An interest in developing your career within the renewable energy sector.

Electrical wholesale experience would be particularly relevant, although candidates from other technical or trade sales backgrounds will also be considered.

Previous experience with solar PV or renewable energy products isn't essential, as product training will be provided.

What's on Offer?

• £35,000 – £40,000 basic salary, depending on experience.
• Annual Profit Share Bonus.
• Company Car.
• Predominantly field-based working.
• Product training and ongoing support.
• Long-term career opportunities within an established and expanding business.
