• Candidate Requirements

• Proven background within the electrical sector (essential)

• Previous experience in Project Management, Contracts Management, or Estimating

• Strong commercial awareness and understanding of project delivery

• Demonstrable experience in business development or client-facing roles

• Established network within the electrical/construction industry (desirable)

• Excellent communication and negotiation skills

• Self-motivated, driven, and capable of working autonomously

• Willingness to travel nationwide as required

• High level of autonomy and influence within the company

• Competitive salary and performance-related bonus

• Long-term career progression as the business expands
