Business Development Manager - Power Quality (STATCOM / Synchronous Condensers)

Overview

Job Title: Business Development Manager - Power Quality (STATCOM / Synchronous Condensers)

Location: UK-wide (hybrid/remote) with travel across the UK & Europe

You know the grid is changing faster than the rules can keep up. Renewable-heavy networks need more than “more generation” - they need stability: voltage held firm, power factor corrected, flicker tamed, and, increasingly, real system strength with inertia and fault current.

Why this role

You’ll own growth for grid-stability solutions that sit at the heart of modern power systems: STATCOMs (fast, power-electronics-based reactive power) and synchronous condensers (rotating machines delivering MVAr plus inertia and fault current). These projects are strategic, high value, and high visibility - the kind that move from connection study to energisation over months (sometimes years).

What you’ll do

You’ll build and develop relationships across utilities, TSOs/DSOs, renewable developers, and heavy industry, spotting where grid code compliance and weak-grid challenges create demand. You’ll lead opportunities from first technical conversation through to contract, guiding customers through options such as STATCOM vs SVC vs synchronous condenser (and occasional hybrid approaches).

You’ll steer bids and tenders, coordinating internal engineering to support network studies, MVAr sizing, dynamic performance requirements, harmonic approaches, footprint and losses. You’ll craft commercial offers, negotiate terms, and align delivery expectations around long lead-times, commissioning scope, warranties, and service.

About the company

You’ll join a global engineering group designing and delivering power quality and grid-stability equipment for transmission, distribution, renewables integration, and demanding industrial sites. The culture is practical, technically credible, and built around long-term customer partnerships - not quick wins.

About you

You’ve succeeded in engineered project sales within HV/MV power systems, grid connection, power quality, FACTS, or rotating electrical plant. You’re comfortable with long-cycle pipelines, technical stakeholders (protection/control, grid planning, EPCs), and formal procurement. You don’t need to be the design engineer - but you do need to speak the language, ask the right questions, and earn trust.

Rewards & growth

You’ll get autonomy, strong technical backup, and a portfolio that’s accelerating with grid-strength and voltage-control demand. Expect a clear route into senior sales leadership or regional growth roles as the market expands.
