An established and rapidly growing UK multi-service provider is seeking a high-impact Business Development leader to drive the expansion of its Electrical Services division.

This is a pivotal hire, with a clear mandate to shape and scale a growing electrical offering. The client is ideally looking for someone operating at Director level, but will also consider a top-performing Business Development Manager ready to step up into a more strategic role.

The Opportunity
Backed by significant investment and recent acquisitions, the business has built a strong national platform and is now accelerating growth within electrical compliance, maintenance, and project services.

You will take ownership of driving new revenue across:
*Electrical compliance (EICR, emergency lighting, testing)
*Planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
*Reactive maintenance & remedials
*Small works and major electrical projects
*LED, EV and renewable solutions

This is a "build and lead" opportunity – combining hands-on new business generation with strategic input into go-to-market approach, target sectors, and long-term growth.

Key Responsibilities
Strategic Growth & Leadership

Client Engagement

*Present commercially robust, solution-led proposals
*Position the business as a trusted compliance and maintenance partner

Cross-Sell & Collaboration
*Leverage an existing national client base to unlock cross-selling opportunities
*Work closely with operational, estimating and technical teams to deliver viable solutions
*Provide market intelligence and competitor insights to the leadership team

What We’re Looking For

Experience
*Proven track record in B2B business development within:
*Electrical compliance / M&E / building services / FM
*Demonstrated success winning multi-site or framework contracts
*Strong understanding of electrical services such as EICR, PPM cycles, remedials and projects

Profile
*Strategic thinker with a hands-on, "hunter" mentality
*Comfortable operating at senior stakeholder level
*Strong commercial awareness and consultative selling approach
*Highly driven, self-motivated and capable of working autonomously

Ideal (but not essential)
*Experience operating at Head of / Director level
*Technical or engineering background (electrical or M&E)
*Knowledge of compliance frameworks (e.g. NICEIC, BS7671)

Why This Role?
*Opportunity to shape and lead the growth of a key division
*Backed by an established group with strong infrastructure and cross-sell potential
*Clear progression into a full leadership / Director position (if joining at Senior BDM level)
*High-visibility role with real influence on commercial strategy

Success in the Role
Within the first 12 months, you will:
*Secure new electrical PPM and maintenance contracts
*Build a strong, qualified pipeline of opportunities
*Establish a presence across key target sectors and clients
*Deliver measurable revenue growth and contribute to market positioning
