Job description

B2B Sales Engineer - Electrical Products - UK / Hybrid (home working + extensive UK travel) - £70k-£80k (DoE) + generous bonus

We’re on the hunt for a successful B2B Sales Engineer, with demonstrable knowledge and experience of selling electrical components / products to electricity distribution clients, to join an incredibly successful international organisation as their first UK Sales / Business Development Engineer.

Joining what will feel like a startup environment, yet with the security, reputation and magnitude of a global organisation, the B2B Sales Engineer will be tasked with securing significant contracts with UK-wide electricity distribution network operators, and helping to establish and then propel the UK arm of the business, growing a team as the business expands.

We’re looking for a business savvy and results-driven Sales Engineer who is looking for a new challenge and would jump at the opportunity to join a fast-growing organisation and expand their offerings in the UK market. Knowledge and experience of electrical products / the electrical engineering sector is what we’re looking for, so that you can confidently and reliably introduce the specialist products to prospective clients and manage the current client base.

Having a ‘little black book’ of contacts you have worked with previously in this sector, will be the icing on the cake!

Role location

Our client is flexible on the location of the successful candidate (within the UK) as this is an independent, remote working role; however, it will include a great deal of travel to attend client meetings throughout the UK and company meetings in Ireland, therefore being centrally located (Birmingham / Midlands / Scottish Borders etc) may be best suited to this role.

Key responsibilities as the B2B Sales Engineer

• Electrical product sales to UK-wide electrical distribution network operators
• Gaining client product approvals
• Identifying, targeting and acquiring new clients for this business through prospecting, networking and utilising contacts within the industry
• Regularly attending client meetings and building strong and sustainable relationships at senior level
• Producing detailed presentations and undertaking product deep-dives with clients
• Acting as a trusted advisor to clients
• Managing the sales process and ensuring client satisfaction
• Undertaking marketing activities as required
• Growing the team when required
• Maintaining an accurate database / CRM

What we’re looking for

• Demonstrable success in similar Sales / Business Development Engineer roles (electricity distribution and networks etc.)
• Solid understanding of electricity distribution and networks in the UK
• Willingness and ability to travel regularly, primarily within the UK and Ireland
• A relevant degree (electrical engineering or similar) is advantageous
• Entrepreneurial and business‑savvy individual
• Start-up mindset, driven to build success
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build and maintain strong business relationships
• A ‘little black book’ of industry contacts is highly desirable
• IT literate with experience of using a CRM
• Ability to travel regularly throughout the UK

What’s on offer

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an international organisation at a point of rapid‑growth, spearheading the expansion into the UK market. Our client is offering a competitive basic salary £70k-£80k, plus a generous bonus scheme. You could be based anywhere in the UK for this role, but will need to be able to travel regularly throughout the UK and Ireland.
