ADVANCE GRID SOLUTIONS

Job Description & Recruitment Pack

Business Development Coordinator

Grid-Scale Battery Storage & Solar | Glasgow (hybrid) | Full time, permanent

Reports to: Business Development Lead   

About AGS

Advance Grid Solutions (AGS) is a Scotland-based EPC and ICP contractor delivering grid-scale battery energy storage (BESS) and solar projects across the UK, from origination through to energisation. We work directly with asset owners, developers and utilities on distribution-connected projects, and our growth is driven by a strong delivery record and long-term client relationships.

The role

Our pipeline of opportunities is growing faster than our capacity to work it. We are hiring a Business Development Coordinator to own the front end of our sales process: researching the market, building and qualifying target lists, making first contact with prospective clients, and booking qualified meetings for our Business Development Lead and senior team.

This is a research-and-outreach role, not a closing role. You will not be expected to negotiate contracts or price work — your job is to make sure our senior people spend their time in front of the right prospects, fully briefed, at the right moment in a project's development.

What you'll do

• Market intelligence — monitor planning portals, grid connection queue data, industry databases and news sources to identify BESS and solar projects and the parties behind them.
• Lead research & qualification — build and maintain target lists of genuine asset owners and developers and qualify each prospect against our bid/no-bid criteria (connection status, planning position, funding, procurement route).
• Outreach — run first-touch outreach by email, phone and LinkedIn to open conversations and secure introductory meetings.
• Meeting coordination — book qualified meetings into the diary, prepare concise briefing notes on each prospect, and coordinate follow-up actions.
• Pipeline hygiene — keep our CRM/pipeline tracker accurate and current: every prospect has an owner, a status, a next action and a date.
• Support — assist with industry events, conference attendance and marketing activity alongside the wider team.

What we're looking for

• 1–3 years' experience in a research, coordination, sales development or analyst role — B2B, energy, construction, property or professional services backgrounds all work.
• Genuine interest in the UK energy transition; familiarity with grid connections, renewables development or planning processes is a strong advantage.
• Confident communicator, comfortable picking up the phone to people you haven't met.
• Organised and systematic — you like lists, trackers and getting things logged properly.
• Strong written English and solid Excel/Office skills.
• Self-starter who can work to a weekly rhythm of targets (prospects researched, contacts made, meetings booked).

What we offer

• £32,000–£35,000 depending on experience.
• A front-row seat in one of the fastest-growing sectors in UK infrastructure, with direct exposure to the Managing Director and senior delivery team.
• Clear progression path into a full business development or commercial role as the company grows.
• Working from our Glasgow base, 33 days' holiday, and company pension.
