We genuinely care. We make it easy. We deliver certainty.

- Generate qualified leads and coordinate proposals and commercial discussions with the relevant business teams.
- Develop subcontractor and supplier connections that support tendering, procurement and project delivery.
- Share project leads, market intelligence and introductions with Construction leadership team.
- Maintain a clear opportunity pipeline, coordinate effective handovers and stay connected to support ongoing relationships.

- The curiosity and commercial judgement to identify opportunities across different products, services and Group businesses.
- Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills, supported by consistent follow-through.
