As a Business Development Executive, you'll know there's a difference between making calls and building relationships. You ask the right questions. You listen. You build trust. And over time, you become the person customers want to deal with. As Business Development Executive, you'll be opening doors, creating conversations and developing relationships with businesses across global energy industries. You'll be speaking with buyers, engineers and project teams. Not to push products. To understand what they're trying to achieve. To learn about the challenges they're facing. To spot opportunities where your products and expertise can help. Because as Business Development Executive, you already know that the best opportunities rarely come from the hardest sell. They come from credibility. You'll be introducing products that aren't off-the-shelf commodities. They're bespoke fasteners, machined components and specialist products used in demanding environments where quality matters and consistency is expected. The business has built its reputation by doing things properly. Customers stay because they trust the people behind the product. That's why being a Business Development Executive here isn't just about finding new customers. It's about becoming a trusted part of their supply chain for years to come. As Business Development Executive, you'll never feel like you're chasing opportunities on your own. Production, engineering, operations and sales all work closely together. People share knowledge. They help each other out. When a customer needs support, people step in and help. It's the sort of environment where everyone understands that delivering for customers is a team effort. You'll have the freedom to develop your own approach as Business Development Executive, but you'll always have experienced people around you who understand the industry and want to see you succeed. You're a Business Development Executive who: Builds relationships naturally. Enjoys uncovering opportunities others miss. Understands that trust is earned. Stays curious and asks good questions. Knows that long-term customers are built through consistency, not pressure. If you're coming from fasteners, engineering, manufacturing, oil and gas or technical products, that experience would help, but it isn't essential. What's more important is your ability to communicate, build trust and develop lasting customer relationships. If you've worked in business development, outbound sales or technical sales and enjoy the challenge of winning new business, they'll provide the product knowledge. In return you'll receive a salary of up to £35,000, uncapped commission, pension and holiday entitlement. This role is exclusive to Marshall Harmony - you won't be contacted by any third parties.
