Senio Sales & Business Development Manager – Data Centre HVAC & Cooling Infrastructure

Location: UK-wide, home-based with national travel but will require regular trips into London Package: Highly competitive basic salary, commission, annual bonus and car allowance

A long-established, market-leading UK engineering manufacturer is looking to recruit a senior, technically credible Business Development Manager to develop major opportunities within the rapidly expanding data-centre market.

The business designs and manufactures bespoke mechanical and HVAC equipment, including:

*

Buffer, pressure and thermal-storage vessels

*

Plate heat exchangers

*

Calorifiers and commercial hot-water systems

*

Packaged plant rooms and skid-mounted systems

*

Bespoke heating and cooling equipment

The company already has strong market recognition, established consultant and contractor relationships and a substantial multimillion-pound data-centre pipeline. This is not a cold-start territory; the successful candidate will be responsible for getting under the skin of live projects, developing senior relationships and converting opportunities into orders.

The Role

This is a senior, hands-on specification and project-sales position involving:

*

Developing relationships with M&E/MEP consultants, contractors, developers and end users

*

Identifying data-centre projects at the design and specification stages

*

Understanding technical, operational and commercial requirements

*

Influencing specifications and positioning appropriate engineered solutions

*

Progressing opportunities through design, tender, procurement and order

*

Developing existing relationships while creating new business

*

Managing a high-value, long-cycle project pipeline

*

Producing accurate forecasts and maintaining CRM activity

*

Working closely with internal estimating, engineering and manufacturing teams

*

Supporting growth across the UK, Ireland and potentially Europe

The Candidate

The successful candidate is likely to have:

*

A strong background in technical, project-led or specification sales

*

Experience within data centres, mission-critical cooling, HVAC or mechanical infrastructure

*

Established relationships with M&E consultants and contractors

*

The credibility to discuss technically complex projects with engineers and senior stakeholders

*

Evidence of personally developing and winning significant projects

*

A proactive, commercially driven approach rather than purely managing existing accounts

*

The ability to operate independently while collaborating with technical teams

Relevant product backgrounds could include:

*

Data-centre cooling infrastructure

*

Chillers and chilled-water systems

*

Heat exchangers and thermal equipment

*

Buffer, pressure or storage vessels

*

Pumps, pressurisation and hydronic systems

*

Packaged plant rooms or skid systems

*

Commercial heating and hot-water equipment

*

Other technically engineered mechanical products

Exact product knowledge is not essential, as comprehensive training will be provided. However, candidates must demonstrate strong commercial ability, technical credibility and experience developing consultant- and contractor-led projects.

This is an opportunity to take a leading commercial role within a rapidly growing division that has the potential to become a major standalone part of the wider business.
