Business Development Manager – Fire Doors & Passive Fire Protection

Job Overview

Doli Contracts Ltd is a growing contractor providing fire door installation, inspections, maintenance and remedial works, alongside fire stopping and specialist joinery services across London and the South East.

We’re looking for someone with fire protection industry experience to help us build a consistent pipeline of profitable work and develop long-term client relationships.

This is a key appointment. You’ll work directly with the director, have a voice in how we grow and take ownership of business development. The director will lead technical surveys, final pricing and project delivery, with your support throughout the sales process.

Your responsibilities

• Identify and approach suitable clients, including managing agents, housing associations, facilities management companies, schools and main contractors.
• Generate new opportunities through calls, emails, networking and face-to-face meetings.
• Develop existing client relationships and secure repeat work.
• Identify relevant tenders, frameworks and approved contractor opportunities, and support applications.
• Follow up quotations, understand client requirements and help turn proposals into confirmed projects.
• Maintain an organised record of contacts, enquiries, quotations and upcoming opportunities.
• Work with the director to agree achievable sales targets and pursue work that suits our capabilities, capacity and margins.
• Support clear handovers from sales to delivery so clients receive what has been agreed.

What we’re looking for

• Previous business development, sales or account management experience within fire doors or passive fire protection.
• A proven record of personally generating enquiries, winning work and developing client accounts.
• An understanding of how specialist contractors secure work and how clients select their suppliers.
• Strong communication, negotiation and follow-up skills.
• Commercial awareness and an understanding that profitable, deliverable work matters.
• Confidence working independently in a small, growing business.
• Willingness to attend client meetings and site visits across London and the South East.

Existing industry relationships would be valuable, but we’re equally interested in your ability to build new ones.

This opportunity could suit a Business Development Executive or Account Manager in the fire protection sector who is ready to take greater ownership and progress into a management role.

What we offer

• £40,000–£50,000 basic salary, depending on relevant experience.
• Performance-related bonus, with the structure agreed before appointment.
• Company pension.
• Direct access to the director and the opportunity to influence business growth.
