Marketing & Business Development Executive
Wodehouse Ltd | Construction, Groundworks & Civil Engineering
Wodehouse Ltd is looking for an ambitious and creative Marketing & Business Development Executive to join our growing team and take responsibility of the day-to-day marketing activity across the business.
This is a varied, hands-on role combining marketing, content creation, project photography and videography, social media, business development and construction-sector networking.
Working closely with management, you will help shape how Wodehouse presents itself to existing clients, prospective clients and the wider construction industry.
This is not simply a desk-based social media position. You will regularly visit live projects, capture progress across our sites, create engaging content, maintain an organised library of company media and help identify opportunities to strengthen Wodehouse's presence and relationships within the industry.
You will work directly alongside management, with regular catch-ups to agree priorities, upcoming project milestones and wider marketing strategy, while being given the freedom to bring forward your own ideas and develop the role as the business continues to grow.
The Role
Your responsibilities will include:
- Manage and develop Wodehouse's day-to-day marketing activity.
- Plan, create and publish professional content across LinkedIn and other relevant channels.
- Visit live projects to capture photography, video and drone content.
- Track project progress and identify key milestones and opportunities for content.
- Organise and maintain Wodehouse's project photography, video and marketing library.
- Produce project updates, case studies, recruitment material and wider company content.
- Support the development and upkeep of the Wodehouse website and brand presence.
- Build and maintain relationships with clients, contractors and industry contacts.
- Research new business opportunities and support wider business-development activity.
- Work closely with management to develop and improve Wodehouse's marketing strategy.
Content Creation & Site Visits
A key part of the position will involve travelling to Wodehouse projects and creating high-quality content directly from site.
You do not need to arrive as an experienced drone pilot or professional photographer.
Training, equipment and time will be provided to develop your ability to confidently capture professional photography, videography and drone footage across our projects.
You should, however, have a genuine interest in content creation and a strong eye for what makes engaging and professional visual content.
We are looking for somebody who is:
- Experienced in marketing, content creation and social media.
- Experienced and comfortable within the construction and groundworks industry.
- Creative, proactive and comfortable taking ownership of their work.
- Confident bringing forward ideas rather than simply waiting for instructions.
- An effective communicator with strong written English.
- Experienced in marketing, social media, content creation or a related field.
- Confident using LinkedIn professionally.
- Comfortable working both independently and directly alongside management.
- Organised and able to manage content across several live projects at once.
- Commercially minded and interested in how marketing can support business growth.
- Comfortable visiting construction sites and working around operational environments.
- Interested in photography, videography and visual storytelling.
- Capable of representing Wodehouse professionally when communicating with clients and other industry professionals.
Desirable Experience
The following would be beneficial but are not essential:
- Photography or videography experience.
- Video editing experience using software such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro or similar.
- Canva, Adobe Creative Suite or other graphic-design experience.
- Website content management experience.
- Previous involvement in business development or client relationship management.
- Existing connections within the UK construction industry.
- Experience creating LinkedIn content for a business or professional brand.
- Drone experience or an interest in learning.
- A marketing-related degree or CIM qualification.
What We Can Offer
This is an opportunity to join Wodehouse at an exciting stage of the company's development and play a significant role in shaping how the business is marketed moving forward.
You will have:
- Direct involvement with management and company decision-makers.
- Freedom to introduce new ideas, systems and approaches.
- Exposure to a wide variety of construction and civil engineering projects.
- Training and development in photography, videography and drone operation.
- The opportunity to develop your understanding of the construction industry.
- Responsibility for helping build Wodehouse's marketing strategy rather than simply maintaining an existing system.
- Scope for the position to grow alongside the business, with the potential to develop into a more senior marketing and business-development role.
