Job Description

West Yorkshire | Home-Based
Full-Time | Permanent

Looking for a home-based business development role where you can genuinely shape the future of engineering skills?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established and growing engineering training provider, working with over 300 employer partners across industry. You’ll play a key role in driving growth, building relationships, and delivering apprenticeship and training solutions that make a real impact.

If you’re commercially driven, confident with clients, and enjoy a consultative sales approach — this role offers real autonomy, purpose, and long-term opportunity.

Why This Role Stands Out

  * Home-based role with full autonomy

  * 42 days annual leave including bank holidays

  * Christmas shutdown (7 days reserved)

  * Commission structure in place

  * Strong pension contribution

  * Life insurance (4x salary)

  * Private healthcare after qualifying period

  * Early finish every Friday

  * Supportive, people-focused organisation with genuine progression

Standard working hours are Monday to Thursday 8:00am – 4:15pm and Friday 8:00am – 4:00pm, with flexibility required to meet the needs of the role.

The Role

This is a key commercial role responsible for driving sales and employer engagement activity across West Yorkshire (Selby through Leeds to Sheffield).

You’ll take ownership of your own territory, managing a pipeline of opportunities, building long-term partnerships, and delivering a first-class consultative sales experience to employers across engineering and manufacturing sectors.

What You’ll Be Doing

  * Delivering a consultative sales approach across apprenticeship and training solutions

  * Managing and developing a pipeline of opportunities to achieve personal sales targets

  * Building strong, long-term relationships with employers and key accounts

  * Delivering engaging sales presentations and proposals to prospects and clients

  * Attending meetings with employers, stakeholders, and industry contacts

  * Maintaining accurate and up-to-date CRM records of all activity

  * Gathering and sharing market intelligence to support business strategy

  * Supporting and attending events, exhibitions, open days and promotional activities

  * Contributing to team activity, meetings and wider organisational initiatives

What We’re Looking For

  * Proven experience in business development, key account management, or employer engagement

  * Strong consultative sales skills and ability to influence at all levels

  * Confident presenting and building credibility with clients

  * Self-motivated, target-driven, and commercially aware

  * Comfortable managing your own territory in a home-based role

  * Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle

Experience in a similar role and sector would be a distinct advantage.

You’ll ideally be based centrally within West Yorkshire, given the regional coverage of the role.

Why Apply?

This is more than a sales role — it’s an opportunity to play a key part in developing future engineering talent, supporting businesses, and contributing to long-term skills growth across the region.

You’ll be joining an organisation with a strong reputation, clear growth plans, and a genuine commitment to developing both its learners and its people.
