About the Role
When you see the world as we do, you see the chance to help the world take better care of its resources and help it become a better place for everyone. We are looking for someone who is just as committed as we are to push for genuine change and bring our ambition of Ecological Transformation to life. At Veolia, everyone helps work alongside communities, look after the environment, and contribute to an inclusive culture.

We are seeking a highly self-motivated and proactive Business Development Executive to drive growth for Veolia’s Industrial Site Services across a designated geographic territory. In this field-based role, you will be responsible for sourcing, visiting, and managing industrial clients to assess their site needs for both routine and one-off industrial cleaning and site service solutions. You will own your sales pipeline from lead generation through to technical solution delivery, collaborating closely with internal technical and operational colleagues to build competitive, high-quality quotes.

What we can offer you:
- Access to our company pension scheme
- Discounts on everything from groceries to well-known retailers
- Access to a range of resources to support your physical, mental and financial health
- 24 hour access to a virtual GP, 365 days a year, for you and family members in your household
- One paid day’s leave every year to volunteer and support your community
- Ongoing training and development opportunities, allowing you to reach your full potential

What you'll be doing:
- Territory & Pipeline Management: Proactively identify, target, and secure new business opportunities within your assigned geographic region to maintain a robust, self-generated sales pipeline.
- On-Site Consultations & Assessments: Conduct regular client visits across industrial facilities to assess complex operational needs, site hazards, and service requirements.
- Solution Scope & Estimating: Partner with internal technical teams, site operators, and estimation specialists to scope out requirements and construct accurate proposals for specialised one-off projects or ongoing service contracts.
- Client Relationship Management: Build long-term, trusted relationships with plant managers, EH&S leads, and procurement teams across target industrial sectors.
- Commercial Closing: Deliver compelling sales presentations, negotiate terms, and close opportunities in line with revenue and margin targets.

Requirements

Experience
Proven B2B sales track record, ideally within industrial cleaning, environmental services, waste management, facilities management, or heavy industry services.

About you
Strong self-starter capable of working autonomously to manage time, plan site visit schedules, and drive pipeline growth across a region. Ability to translate complex operational site challenges into practical, commercial service scopes. Strong interpersonal skills to work effectively with internal operational teams, health & safety experts, and colleagues to construct winning quotes. Full driving licence and willingness to travel regularly throughout the assigned geographic territory.

Qualifications
Not explicitly stated, but a full driving licence is required and relevant experience in B2B sales is essential.
