Business Development & Growth Lead

This isn't a traditional sales role.

This Role Probably Isn't For You If...

• You prefer a highly structured corporate environment.
• You only enjoy managing existing customers.
• You dislike travelling.
• You prefer routine over variety.
• You need constant direction and supervision.
• You're looking for "just another sales job."

This Role Could Be Perfect For You If...

• You enjoy building businesses.
• You love meeting customers and creating opportunities.
• You think commercially.
• You enjoy wearing multiple hats.
• You want your work to have a direct impact on business success.
• You want to build a long-term career rather than simply find your next job.

We aren't looking for someone to simply chase quotations and meet monthly sales targets.

We're looking for someone who wants to help build three entrepreneurial businesses and become a key part of their future success.

This is an opportunity to work directly with the business owner, helping to identify new opportunities, strengthen existing customer relationships, improve commercial processes, and contribute to the long-term growth of a group of businesses.

If you're someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, thinks commercially and wants to build something meaningful, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Group

An industrial services business specialising in heat exchanger retubing, condenser maintenance and shutdown projects for power stations, refineries and heavy industry.

RoMeo Imports

• Preparing and following up quotations and proposals.

• Working closely with the business owner to implement commercial growth strategies.
• Assisting in improving business systems, processes and customer engagement.
• Representing the businesses professionally at customer sites, including refineries, power stations, mines and other industrial facilities.
• Travelling nationally, with occasional international travel where required.

Every week will look different, and that's exactly how we like it.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has proven experience in business development within industrial or technical industries.
• Enjoys building long-term customer relationships.

• Diploma or Degree in Engineering, Business, Marketing, Commerce or a related field.
• Proven experience in industrial business development may be considered in place of formal qualifications.

Why Join Us?

You'll have the opportunity to work directly with the owner of three growing businesses, contribute to strategic decisions, build meaningful customer relationships and help shape the future of the group.

This role offers significant opportunity for personal and professional growth as the businesses expand.
