Business Development Engineer
UAV / Drone Industry Next-Gen Flight Technology
Based:
Loughborough, Leicester (In office role)
Salary: £45k

If drones are more than a job to you, keep reading.

This role is for people who want to help shape how new UAV technology actually gets used.

We are working with a company at the cutting edge of the UAV / drone sector, helping manufacturers and advanced operators unlock dramatically longer flight times through new power technology.
This role is for someone who lives and breathes UAVs and wants to work closer to the technology, customers, and future of flight.

Why this role exists

• Demand is growing fast.
• Drone manufacturers and operators are actively looking for alternatives to traditional battery limitations. The technology works, the interest is global, and the conversations are already happening.
• What is needed now is a technically credible person who can sit between engineering and customers and help turn interest into adoption.

Who this will suit

This is not a traditional sales role.

It will suit someone who:

• Has a genuine passion for drones or UAV technology
• Enjoys talking to engineers and technical teams
• Likes being involved early when new tech is being integrated
• Wants ownership of customer relationships, not handovers
• Prefers substance and credibility over sales scripts

If people already come to you for technical advice, this will feel natural.

The kind of work you will be involved in

• Speaking with drone manufacturers and advanced operators
• Helping customers understand how new power systems fit their platforms
• Supporting early integrations and ongoing relationships
• Attending industry events, demos and flight activity
• Playing a visible role in the commercial growth of the business

You will be trusted, visible, and close to the technology.

Location and travel

• Based near Loughborough, Leicester (this is office based)
• Involved in UK and international customer conversations
• Occasional travel and industry events as part of the role

The opportunity in short

• Cutting edge UAV technology
• Real engineering conversations
• Global customers
• Long term product adoption, not quick wins

If you are already in the drone space and want a role that feels closer to the future of UAVs, this is worth exploring.
