Join us, be part of more.
We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.
We have an exciting opportunity for a commercially driven Senior Business Development Manager to take the lead in growing our presence across the UK&I Industrial and Commercial sector. In this high-impact role, you’ll focus on delivering annual revenues of £12–20 million, while building a strong pipeline of £100 million+ in unweighted opportunities for the following year—across our innovative energy solutions portfolio including CHP, solar, heat pumps and more.
About the role:
We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too.
