Business Development Manager - Water Treatment Industry

Southeast Based

Package OTE £60,000 - £65,000

We are looking to hear from experienced Business Development Managers and Sales Representatives who have experience from the water treatment industry to join our client in a full time, permanent position.

If you're a Business Development Manager who doesn't wait for leads-but creates them-this is your kind of role.

Because this isn't about managing accounts.

It's about building revenue, owning a region, and driving serious commercial growth.

INCENTIVES

Basic salary £40,000 - £45,000 (based on sales experience within the water treatment sector)

Commission approximately £15k p.a.

Quarterly bonus of £750

Annual bonus of 2k for achieving yearly target.

THE OPPORTUNITY

A well-established and highly respected water treatment specialist is looking for a driven Business Development Manager to take charge of Southern England.

This is a field-facing, high-impact role where you will be the front line of growth-opening doors, winning contracts, and building long-term client relationships in a technically complex and highly valuable sector.

You'll be trusted with autonomy, backed with support, and measured on results-not activity.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

This is a true hunter role. Your focus will be:

  • Driving new business growth across Southern England
  • Identifying and converting opportunities through cold outreach, networking, and structured lead generation
  • Building long-term client relationships that generate repeat and ongoing revenue
  • Leading technical sales discussions with confidence and credibility
  • Presenting and pitching solutions that clearly demonstrate commercial value
  • Negotiating and closing contracts in line with business objectives
  • Tracking pipeline performance and reporting on sales activity and forecasts
  • Working closely with internal teams to align strategy and execution

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

In this role, success isn't subtle-it's measurable:

  • You grow market share in a defined territory
  • You consistently convert opportunities into revenue
  • You build a strong, predictable sales pipeline
  • You become a trusted voice in both sales and strategy discussions

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

To be considered, you'll need:

  • Minimum 3 years' experience in a Business Development or Sales role
  • Proven success within the water treatment industry - essential
  • Hands-on experience with industrial reverse osmosis and water softening systems
  • Strong ability to present, influence, and close deals
  • Confidence managing technical conversations with commercial clarity
  • Solid understanding of MS Office and sales reporting tools

BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF

This is not a "wait for inbound leads" role.

If you want structure, scripts, and step-by-step instruction-this won't suit you.

But if you want:

  • Control over your territory
  • Freedom to build your own pipeline
  • Real influence on business growth
  • And the ability to directly impact revenue

Then please apply today through the advert or call (phone number removed) ext 202 for more information.
