Synergize is one of the UK's leading specialists in refurbishment, planned maintenance and building remediation, delivering high\-quality projects across both the public and private sectors.

Today, Synergize forms part of Grosvenor House Group (GHG) \- a growing national group bringing together specialist businesses across facilities management, refurbishment, passive fire protection and property services. Being part of GHG means combining the agility and close\-knit culture of a specialist contractor with the stability, investment and long\-term opportunities of a larger organisation delivering projects across the UK.

As our business continues to grow, we're looking for talented people who want to make a genuine impact, help shape the future of the business, and develop their careers within an ambitious and expanding group.

About the Role

As Business Development Manager, you will play a key role in driving growth across SynZero and SynFurb, focusing on developing new relationships with Housing Associations, Local Authorities, public sector organisations and strategic framework partners.

Synergize is already positioned strongly within the market, including being a leading provider on key frameworks such as LHC. However, we are looking for someone who can proactively engage with clients, build relationships and ensure Synergize is front of mind when opportunities arise.

This is a proactive, relationship\-led business development role, requiring someone who is comfortable opening doors, generating conversations and converting opportunities into secured work.

You will be responsible for developing a sustainable pipeline of opportunities, nurturing existing relationships and helping each division achieve ambitious growth targets.

• Work closely with operational teams to understand capability, market opportunities and client requirements.


• Maintain accurate pipeline reporting and provide regular updates on business development activity.


• Attend industry events, client meetings and networking opportunities to represent Synergize.

SynZero specialises in delivering solutions that support the UK’s transition towards net zero, including renewable energy, retrofit and energy efficiency programmes.

With the government’s commitment to improving the energy performance of housing stock and bringing properties up to EPC C standards, the decarbonisation market represents a significant long\-term growth opportunity.
