Key Responsibilities

This is a field-based, territory-focused position combining existing account management with new business development. You’ll work in a consultative, solutions-led environment—building trusted relationships and delivering tailored engineering solutions rather than chasing quick wins. You’ll have real autonomy, backed by a professional and supportive internal team.

• Develop new business through targeted prospecting and networking
• Understand customer requirements and present value-driven solutions
• Lead single-tender contract negotiations
• Deliver a high standard of service throughout the sales cycle
• Work independently in the field, with flexibility for early starts when required

Key Skills & Experience

• You’ll be a proven polished B2B field sales professional, ideally from a technical or service-based environment, with strong consultative selling skills and the confidence to manage complex or longer sales cycles.
• You’re organised, commercially aware, and comfortable having direct conversations around value and pricing.
• A full UK driving licence and regional travel are essential.
