Location: Warrington
Salary: Up to £28,000

Love talking to people? Thrive on the thrill of the chase? Hungry to smash targets and open doors?

This is your moment.

We’re looking for a fearless, energetic go-getter who lives for the buzz of sales and isn’t afraid to start bold conversations. As our Business Development Executive, you’ll be the powerhouse behind our outbound strategy—cold calling businesses, turning curiosity into interest, and interest into opportunity.

You won’t just dial numbers. You’ll make waves.
 
What You’ll Be Doing as Business Development Executive:

Pick up the phone and make things happen—cold call businesses and introduce our offer with confidence and clarity
Spot real potential—qualify leads and lock in meetings for our Area Sales Manager
Build a hot pipeline—nurture prospects, follow up like a pro, and keep momentum strong
Dig into target markets—do the research and identify key decision-makers
Keep it tight—update CRM systems with laser-focused notes and next steps
Collaborate like a champ—work closely with the Area Sales Manager to hand over leads seamlessly
Hit targets. Then beat them. 
What You’ll Bring to the Table:

Cold calling or outbound sales experience—you know how to get past the gatekeeper
A voice that makes people stop and listen—confident, warm, and engaging
Thick skin and tenacity—you bounce back from knock-backs and keep going
An organised brain—track calls, follow up, stay on top of your game
CRM savvy and solid Microsoft Office skills
Team spirit with a competitive edge 
You’ll Absolutely Love This Role If:

You’re naturally persuasive and love influencing people
You get a genuine buzz from booking meetings and hitting numbers
You’re driven, hungry, and never need to be told to pick up the phone
You want to be in a role where your energy and effort have real impact 
Why Join Us?
Because this isn’t your average sales support gig.
You’ll be the engine that fuels our growth, the spark that kicks off deals, and the person turning blank call sheets into packed calendars. It’s fast. It’s fun. And it’s full of potential.

How Many UAV Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UAV Job?

If you’re aiming for a role in the Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry, it can feel like every job advert expects you to know a never-ending list of tools: flight control systems, autopilot frameworks, simulation platforms, sensor suites, communication stacks, mission planning software, GIS tools — and on it goes. With so many names and acronyms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and assume you must learn every tool under the sun before you’ll be taken seriously by employers. Here’s the honest truth most UAV hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real UAV problems safely, reliably and in context. Tools matter — absolutely — but they always serve a purpose: solving problems, reducing risk, improving performance, or guiding safer operations. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know — it’s: which tools you should master, in what context, and why. This article breaks down what employers actually expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look credible, confident and job-ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in UAV Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re aiming for roles in UAV design, robotics/controls engineering, autonomy & computer vision, flight test & certification, embedded systems, operations, ground control software, systems integration or regulatory compliance, the way you present yourself in an application can make or break your chances — and that often happens before the hiring manager reads past your first few lines. In the UK UAV/jobs market, recruiters and hiring managers scan applications rapidly. They look for relevant experience, measurable delivery, technical credibility, domain awareness and safety/regulatory understanding — often making a decision within the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in UAV applications, why those signals matter, and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you get noticed — not filtered out.

The Skills Gap in UAV Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) — commonly known as drones — are among the fastest-growing technologies globally. From infrastructure inspection and agriculture to emergency response, surveying, logistics and defence, UAVs are transforming how organisations gather data, deliver services and improve efficiency. In the UK, demand for UAV professionals is increasing rapidly. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with engineering, robotics or aerospace backgrounds, employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not ready for real UAV jobs. This is not a reflection of intelligence or academic effort. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in the UAV sector. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities do well, where programmes fall short, why the divide exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build a successful career in UAVs.
