Job Description
Business Development Manager (Civil Engineering / Design Background)
Location: Glasgow (Scotland-based with UK travel)
Client: Civil Engineering Contractor – Pre-Construction Team
We're working with a civil engineering contractor in Glasgow that is looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to join its Pre-Construction team. This is an excellent opportunity for a Design Manager or someone from a design or engineering background who is looking to move away from day-to-day design delivery into a more client-facing and commercially focused role, while still drawing on their technical expertise.
We're particularly keen to speak with individuals who understand how infrastructure projects are developed and delivered, but who are interested in becoming involved earlier in the project lifecycle - building client relationships, identifying opportunities, and helping secure future work. The role will involve regular travel across Scotland and the wider UK for client meetings, networking events, and industry engagements.
About You
You will likely have:
A strong background in civil engineering design or design management
Experience working on infrastructure or major construction projects
An understanding of how projects are developed, bid, and secured
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
An interest in client engagement, business development, and strategic growth
Confidence presenting technical solutions in a commercial environment
Strong organisational and IT skills, including Microsoft Office, Teams, and CRM systems
A full UK driving licence
What's on Offer
Competitive salary and benefits package
Company car, bonus scheme, and pension
Clear progression opportunities within a growing business
The chance to move beyond pure design delivery and have a greater influence on project acquisition and business growth
Exposure to major civil engineering and infrastructure projects across the UK
Support and development for professionals transitioning into business development
This is a genuine opportunity to move into a strategic, client-facing position without losing touch with the technical side of civil engineering.
Legal Information:
We act as an employment agency for permanent work and as an employment business for temporary work.
For roles in the UK, applicants must be eligible to live and work in the UK.
We value diversity and promote equality. No terminology in this advert is intended to discriminate against any of the protected characteristics that fall under the Equality Act 2010.
