Are you a dynamic, results-driven individual with a passion for business growth and renovation projects? Watkin Jones, a leader in the property development sector, is looking for a Business Development Manager to join our expanding team in the exciting world of renovations.
Role Overview:
As a Business Development Manager, you will play a pivotal role working with our technical services director driving business expansion, building lasting relationships with key stakeholders, and identifying new opportunities within the renovation sector. Your energy and passion will be key in shaping the future of our projects, with a focus on delivering innovative and sustainable solutions.
The successful candidate will oversee the full bid process—from strategy formulation through to final submission—while collaborating closely with internal teams and the Technical Services Director. You’ll play a key role in developing and executing winning bid strategies, leveraging your extensive experience in construction to produce detailed, accurate, and compelling bid programmes, costings, and technical plans. You will also manage critical tender documents such as PQQs and ITTs, ensuring all submissions are not only accurate but also demonstrate a thorough understanding of construction methodologies and project delivery timelines.
Working directly with the Technical Services Director, you’ll have the opportunity to influence high-level decision-making and contribute to the strategic direction of our Refresh and Building Improvement Programme (BIP). You'll be instrumental in driving business growth, securing key projects, and helping us stay ahead of industry trends, all while ensuring the seamless delivery of major construction projects.
Why You’ll Love This Role:
* Work directly with senior leadership: Collaborate with the Technical Services Director to steer bid strategy, assess risks, and guide project direction.
* Lead from the front: Take charge of managing the entire bid process, ensuring all submissions are tailored to secure success.
* Drive business growth: Play a pivotal role in identifying new opportunities and expanding our business portfolio.
* Collaborative environment: Work alongside a team of experts, including internal technical, commercial, and construction professionals, to deliver outstanding results.
* Strategic impact: Your insights into market trends, competitor activities, and client needs will be key to positioning Watkin Jones as an industry leader.
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven experience: A strong background in business development, bid management, and tender processes within the construction sector.
* Leadership skills: Experience in leading teams and managing complex projects, with the ability to collaborate closely with senior leaders.
* Attention to detail: A focus on accuracy, thoroughness, and timeliness in preparing and submitting high-quality bids.
* Strategic mindset: Strong analytical skills, with the ability to assess market trends and competitive forces to inform bidding strategies.
* Construction expertise: A solid understanding of construction contracts, procurement processes, and risk management.
At Watkin Jones, we believe in investing in our people. Here’s what we can offer you:
* Professional Growth: Individual support for your career advancement.
* Rewards: Discretionary annual bonus, health cash plan, life insurance, and more.
* Work-Life Balance: 25 days of annual leave (increasing with tenure), agile working arrangements, and discounted gym memberships.
* Benefits: Exclusive shopping discounts, and a contributory pension scheme.
