[Hiring] Business Development Manager - Waste Water Treatment pumping solutions @Xylem

Role Description

We’re looking for a commercially sharp Business Development Manager to drive strategic growth across wastewater treatment works in the South UK region.

• Develop and execute a regional business development strategy focused on WwTW
• Engage early in the project lifecycle to influence specifications
• Identify and convert opportunities across new assets, upgrades, and retrofit solutions
• Expand recurring aftermarket revenue (maintenance, refurbishment, spares, lifecycle support)
• Build strong relationships with water utilities, consultants, contractors, and framework partners
• Track AMP cycles, regulatory drivers, and competitor activity to sharpen positioning
• Maintain a disciplined pipeline with accurate forecasting and CRM reporting

This is not a reactive sales role. It’s about shaping demand upstream.

Qualifications

• Proven business development experience within wastewater treatment, pumping solutions, or related infrastructure markets
• A clear understanding of UK water utility procurement frameworks and AMP cycles
• The confidence to engage credibly with consultants and asset managers
• A structured approach to pipeline management and forecasting
• Commercial awareness with long-term strategic thinking
• Experience in rotating equipment, process technologies, or treatment solutions would be advantageous

Requirements

• Early-stage technical influence rather than late-stage price competition
• A balanced focus on capital projects and sustainable service revenue
• Exposure to major UK water utility investment cycles
• Collaboration with engineering, service, and bid teams who understand complex infrastructure delivery

Benefits

• Opportunity to influence how wastewater assets are specified, delivered, and maintained
• Contribute to critical national infrastructure while building a commercially sustainable portfolio across capital and lifecycle services
