Job description

Area Sales Representative Engineering Services Waterlooville | Field-based

Full-time, Permanent

V3 Recruitment is partnering with a growing, project and service-led engineering business based in Waterlooville. Known for quality, integrity, and long-term client relationships, the business is looking to appoint an experienced Area Sales Representative to support continued regional growth.

The Role

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and grow existing client accounts


• 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

About You

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.

Who This Role Suits

This role suits someone who enjoys relationship-led selling, values autonomy, and takes pride in representing a business properly. You'll thrive if you prefer credibility, trust, and long-term partnerships over hard-selling tactics or scripted sales approaches.

Who This Role Doesn't Suit

This role is unlikely to suit candidates who rely on high-pressure closing techniques, need close supervision, prefer short transactional sales cycles only, or are seeking an office-based role with minimal travel.

What's On Offer

• £40,000 £60,000 basic salary


• Attractive commission structure


• Autonomy with genuine support


• Opportunity to represent a respected engineering business with a strong reputation
