The Role
We are looking for a "Technical Closer." You will be the face of the business across London and the South East, targeting high-value steelwork packages (Commercial, Infrastructure, and Energy). This role is about more than just finding leads; it’s about using your technical expertise to influence the pre-tender stage and secure the "right" kind of work for their world-class fabrication facility.

The Ideal Candidate (Estimating Background)
The "sweet spot" for this role is someone who has spent time in Estimating or Pre-Construction. We need a BDM who can sit down with a Tier 1 contractor, look at a complex drawing, and talk intelligently about value engineering, connection design, and site logistics.

- Technical Literacy: Ability to understand BQs and structural complexities is essential.
- The Closer: You enjoy the chase of a multi-million-pound contract and have the commercial grit to see it through to a win.
The Rewards
- Base Salary: Around £70,000 (negotiable based on your specific track record).
- Bonus Scheme: This is where the role stands out. It’s a very rich, results-driven scheme designed to significantly reward those who secure high-margin, high-quality projects.
- Ownership: Participation in the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) profit-sharing schemes.
- Autonomy: You’ll have the freedom to manage your territory as your own business, backed by a firm that operates to the highest industry standards and technical certifications.
