Ark Fire Protection is a leading provider of fire safety solutions, specialising in fire doors, fire stopping, intumescent coatings, external fire barriers, active and passive fire protection systems. Our mission is simple: to safeguard lives and property through innovative, compliant, and reliable fire protection products.
With a strong reputation for quality and service, we’re growing fast — and we’re looking for an ambitious individual to help drive the next phase of our expansion.


The Role
As Business Development Executive, you’ll be at the front line of our commercial growth. You’ll identify new opportunities, build long-term relationships, and generate revenue across our fire door, passive and reactive fire protection services.
This is a role for someone who is motivated, proactive, and hungry to succeed. You’ll be supported with training, tools, and a strong operational team to help you win and deliver work confidently.

*Build strong relationships with contractors, developers, architects, and fire safety consultants.
*Identify new projects, markets, and partnerships.
*Prepare, present and follow up proposals and quotations to clients.
*Manage your sales pipeline and convert opportunities into long-term customers.
*Work closely with the Sales Manager and Operational teams to ensure smooth project delivery.
*Represent Ark Fire Protection professionally at meetings, site visits, and industry events.


What We’re Looking For
We’re interested in attitude as much as experience.
*Proven sales or business development experience with the fire protection industry is preferred, but not essential for the right candidate.
*We are willing to train someone with little or no industry experience, as long as you bring:
*Drive and ambition
*A hunger to learn
*Confidence and resilience
*A strong work ethic
*Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
*Self-motivated and results-driven mindset.
*Willingness to travel to meet clients when required.
If you’re commercially minded and want to build a career in a growing fire protection business, we want to hear from you.


What We Offer
*Competitive base salary (from £30,000 DOE).
*Uncapped commission structure.
*Company car.
*Ongoing training and professional development.
*28 days holiday.
*Health & wellbeing benefits.
*A genuine opportunity to grow with the business.
