Business Development Executive – Energy Technology | Wokingham | £35,000 + Commission

We are working with an established UK technology and engineering business that works with multi-site operators across the hospitality and facilities sector. They have a proven product with a strong ROI story, over 7,000 installations, and a client base that includes major pub groups and restaurant chains. The business is growing and investing in its sales function.

This role sits at the front end of the sales process. You will be qualifying inbound enquiries, following up on marketing-engaged contacts, and proactively reaching out to prospects to create opportunities for the senior sales team. It is a phone-based role and you need to be comfortable picking up the phone - but this is not a scripted call center environment. You will be working with a real CRM, real data, and real autonomy to help shape how the lead generation function operates.

What the role involves

Responding to inbound enquiries and qualifying them against structured criteria, following up on contacts who have engaged with marketing campaigns, proactive outbound calling to warm and semi-warm prospects, maintaining CRM records, and feeding back on lead quality and campaign performance.

What we are looking for

Background in inside sales, SDR, lead generation, or a commercially focused customer-facing role. Strong on the phone, organised, self-motivated, and able to ask the right questions to assess an opportunity. Industry experience is not required - full training is provided.

Package

Circa £35,000 basic plus commission, office-based near Wokingham, flexible start and finish times, 25 days holiday, 4% pension, EV salary sacrifice scheme and free on-site parking.
