Business Development Manager
An Opportunity to Drive Commercial Growth in the UK's Energy Transition
Climate17 is delighted to be partnering with an ambitious, investment-backed energy infrastructure business at the forefront of the UK's transition to low-carbon heating.
With significant investment, a growing portfolio of major projects and exciting expansion plans, our client is seeking a commercially driven Business Development Manager to help accelerate its next phase of growth.
This is a fantastic opportunity to combine commercial ambition with genuine impact, securing long-term customer partnerships that will support the delivery of low-carbon infrastructure across the UK.
The Opportunity
Working closely with senior commercial leadership, you'll play a pivotal role in developing new business opportunities and converting prospects into long-term customers.
Key responsibilities:
- Develop and manage commercial pipelines across major infrastructure projects.
- Build and maintain relationships with prospective customers and senior stakeholders.
- Lead commercial negotiations through to contract signature.
- Prepare compelling proposals and support commercial decision-making.
- Collaborate with technical and project teams to deliver tailored customer solutions.
- Represent the business at customer meetings and industry events.
About You
We're looking for a commercially astute, relationship-driven professional with:

- Strong negotiation skills and experience securing commercial agreements.
- The confidence to engage, influence and build relationships with senior decision-makers.
- Excellent commercial awareness and a proactive, entrepreneurial mindset.
- An interest in sustainability, energy or infrastructure.
Experience in energy, utilities or district heating would be advantageous, but is not essential.
