Business Development Manager - Electrical Distribution (M&E)
(Ideal for Branch / Profit Centre Managers Seeking a Better Way of Working)
Location: Midlands to London (remote / field-based)
Salary: £60,000 - £80,000 basic + up to 25% bonus
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Running a Branch… But Ready to Step Away from the Pressure?
- Tired of opening the branch early and closing it late?
- Constantly dealing with staff issues, targets, and internal KPIs?
- Spending more time on operations than actually driving sales?
- Feel like your earning potential doesn't reflect your experience?
If you're a Branch Manager or Profit Centre Manager, this is your opportunity to step into a role that keeps the commercial side you enjoy-without the day-to-day headaches.
Why This Role?
Join a multi-billion-pound electrical distributor with the backing, infrastructure, and reputation to compete at the highest level-without being restricted in how you win business.
This role offers:
- Work-from-home flexibility with field-based customer engagement
- The ability to focus purely on sales and relationship building
- No branch responsibility - no staffing, no daily ops, no firefighting
- The credibility of a major, established brand behind you
The Opportunity
A true business development role combining new business and account management across M&E contractors in the Midlands to London region.
You'll be:
- Winning new contractor business and developing key accounts
- Leveraging your existing network and industry knowledge
- Identifying and securing project opportunities
- Building a strong pipeline and driving revenue growth
- Working with a well-resourced internal team that supports delivery
Who This Suits
This role is ideal for someone currently in:
- Branch Manager / Profit Centre Manager role
- Senior sales within an electrical wholesaler
…who wants:
- More freedom and autonomy
- Better work-life balance
- Higher earning potential tied to performance
- To step away from operations and refocus on growth
What You'll Need
- Background in electrical wholesale / distribution
- Strong relationships within M&E contractors
- Proven ability to win and grow business
- Strong commercial awareness (pricing, margin, negotiation)
- Self-motivation and ability to manage your own territory
What You'll Get
- £60,000 - £80,000 basic salary
- Up to 25% bonus
- Remote / field-based working
- Backing of a major, financially strong organisation
- Autonomy without losing the support of a large business
- A role focused on growth, not internal admin
The Bottom Line
This is your chance to take your industry knowledge and relationships and move into a role where:
You keep the influence
You lose the branch pressure
And you finally get rewarded for the business you generate
