Pasquill, part of Saint-Gobain UK & Ireland, is looking for a Business Development Manager to cover the Southwest of England. This is a customer-facing sales role focused on regional housebuilders and builders merchants, with real scope to grow your own patch and shape how it''s managed.

What we''re looking for:

• Previous sales or customer-facing experience, ideally within engineered timber solutions or the housebuilder/merchant sector
• Strong all-round sales skills and a solid grasp of the sales cycle
• A relationship-first approach, with the communication and negotiation skills to back it up

• Organised, proactive, and happy managing your own time and area
• A full UK driving licence, as travel and occasional overnight stays come with the territory

What you''ll be doing:

• Developing and growing your customer base through targeted, consistent activity
• Building long-term relationships across housebuilder and merchant accounts, at multiple levels within each business
• Delivering profitable sales against agreed targets, with a clear focus on margin as well as volume
• Working closely with the Design and Operations teams to make sure customers get a consistently strong experience
