Working closely with estimating, commercial, design and operational teams, you'll ensure opportunities are properly qualified and aligned with the contractor's technical capabilities and commercial objectives. This is not a general construction-sales role. You'll need sufficient façade knowledge to discuss project requirements credibly, recognise viable packages and understand the key factors influencing specification, procurement and contractor selection.

About You You'll be a credible façade professional who understands both relationship development and the technical context behind the opportunity. You should be comfortable discussing façade systems, project scope, design responsibilities, procurement routes and programme requirements without relying entirely on the technical team to lead the conversation. You'll know how to identify the decision-makers influencing a package and how to maintain engagement through what can be a lengthy development and tender process. The successful candidate will be proactive, commercially aware and selective. The priority is to generate a strong pipeline of suitable, profitable façade projects rather than a high volume of poorly qualified enquiries.
