West Yorkshire | Home-Based
Full-Time | Permanent
Looking for a home-based business development role where you can genuinely shape the future of engineering skills?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established and growing engineering training provider, working with over 300 employer partners across industry. You’ll play a key role in driving growth, building relationships, and delivering apprenticeship and training solutions that make a real impact.
If you’re commercially driven, confident with clients, and enjoy a consultative sales approach — this role offers real autonomy, purpose, and long-term opportunity.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Home-based role with full autonomy
- 42 days annual leave including bank holidays
- Christmas shutdown (7 days reserved)
- Commission structure in place
- Strong pension contribution
- Life insurance (4x salary)
- Private healthcare after qualifying period
- Early finish every Friday
- Supportive, people-focused organisation with genuine progression
Standard working hours are Monday to Thursday 8:00am – 4:15pm and Friday 8:00am – 4:00pm, with flexibility required to meet the needs of the role.
The Role
This is a key commercial role responsible for driving sales and employer engagement activity across West Yorkshire (Selby through Leeds to Sheffield).
You’ll take ownership of your own territory, managing a pipeline of opportunities, building long-term partnerships, and delivering a first-class consultative sales experience to employers across engineering and manufacturing sectors.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Delivering a consultative sales approach across apprenticeship and training solutions
- Managing and developing a pipeline of opportunities to achieve personal sales targets
- Building strong, long-term relationships with employers and key accounts
- Delivering engaging sales presentations and proposals to prospects and clients
- Attending meetings with employers, stakeholders, and industry contacts
- Maintaining accurate and up-to-date CRM records of all activity
- Gathering and sharing market intelligence to support business strategy
- Supporting and attending events, exhibitions, open days and promotional activities
- Contributing to team activity, meetings and wider organisational initiatives
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in business development, key account management, or employer engagement
- Strong consultative sales skills and ability to influence at all levels
- Confident presenting and building credibility with clients
- Self-motivated, target-driven, and commercially aware
- Comfortable managing your own territory in a home-based role
- Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
Experience in a similar role and sector would be a distinct advantage.
You’ll ideally be based centrally within West Yorkshire, given the regional coverage of the role.
Why Apply?
This is more than a sales role — it’s an opportunity to play a key part in developing future engineering talent, supporting businesses, and contributing to long-term skills growth across the region.
You’ll be joining an organisation with a strong reputation, clear growth plans, and a genuine commitment to developing both its learners and its people.
