Business Development Manager

Open 21d

Business Development Manager

Testing Services UK (Part of PTSG Electrical Safety Division)

Location - Base local to Wakefield / Dewsbury -Field-based
Salary - £40,000 – £48,000 basic / Company car / 25 days holiday + bank holidays

Uncapped commission / Realistic earnings - circa £65,000 per annum


Let’s be honest…

If you’re in sales, you want three things — a decent product, real earning potential, and the freedom to go and win.

This role ticks all three.

You’ll be selling essential compliance services — not “nice to have” add-ons, but legal requirements every business needs. That means a stronger proposition, better conversations, and more consistent wins.

Backed by the scale of PTSG and a steady flow of warm leads, you’ll have everything you need to build a serious pipeline — and get paid properly for it.


The Role

This is a field-based Business Development role with full ownership of your territory.

You’ll be out meeting clients, building relationships, and closing work across electrical compliance services including EICR, PAT testing, Fire Risk Assessments and Fire Door Surveys.

You won’t be sat waiting for leads — you’ll create your own opportunities too. But you won’t be doing it alone either. You’ll have marketing support, CRM data, and internal referrals from across the wider PTSG group.

It’s a proper mix of autonomy and backing.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Generating new business through cold outreach and self-booked appointments

  • Attending meetings from warm leads and internal referrals

  • Building and managing your own pipeline across your territory

  • Selling compliance services that businesses have to have

  • Managing the full sales cycle from first contact through to close

  • Maintaining accurate activity through the CRM system

  • Working closely with delivery teams to ensure smooth handovers


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven track record in B2B field sales / business development

  • Comfortable picking up the phone and creating your own opportunities

  • Strong closing ability and relationship-building skills

  • Self-motivated — someone who doesn’t need chasing

  • Ideally some understanding of compliance services or electrical/building regulations (nice to have, not essential)

  • Full UK driving licence


What You’ll Get

  • £40,000 – £48,000 basic salary

  • Uncapped commission (3% on all sales)

  • Realistic OTE £48,000 – £55,000+ in year one

  • £250 monthly bonus for first 6 months while you build pipeline

  • Company car

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays

  • Pension scheme

  • Full support from marketing, CRM systems and wider group referrals


Why Testing Services UK / PTSG?

You’re not joining a small standalone business trying to figure things out.

You’re joining a specialist company backed by PTSG — one of the UK’s leading providers of Building Safety & Compliance services, employing over 3,000 people and delivering 170+ services to more than 90,000 customers nationwide.

That means:

  • Existing client access

  • Cross-selling opportunities

  • Strong brand credibility

  • Genuine long-term career options


What Success Looks Like

Year one is about building — pipeline, relationships, and momentum.

You’ll be supported, but trusted to take ownership. By the end of your first 12 months, you’ll have:

  • A strong, self-sustaining pipeline

  • A portfolio of active clients

  • Hit your £250k+ sales target

  • Set yourself up for bigger earnings in year two


Who This Role Suits

Someone who enjoys the chase.

You like being out on the road, opening doors, building relationships and closing deals. You don’t wait for work — you go and create it.

If that sounds like you, you’ll do well here.
