Job description

Join One of the UK's Most Exciting and Fastest-Growing Industrial Engineering Businesses!

Are you an ambitious, technically minded sales professional looking to take your career to the next level?

Would you like to join a highly successful, forward-thinking British engineering business experiencing exceptional growth, investing in its people and rapidly strengthening its position across the UK industrial market?

Consulo are representing one of the UK's most exciting and rapidly expanding businesses within industrial drive technology, mechanical engineering and power transmission solutions.

With an established reputation for technical excellence, a comprehensive product portfolio, ambitious leadership and an expanding customer base, this organisation offers an outstanding opportunity for an enthusiastic, commercially driven individual to become an integral part of its continued success.

This is not simply another field sales position. It is an opportunity to join a business with genuine momentum, where your ideas, energy, technical knowledge and commercial achievements will be recognised and rewarded.

The Opportunity

As Regional Sales Manager, you will take responsibility for developing and expanding business throughout the Midlands, working closely with OEMs, machine builders, engineering companies, industrial distributors and end-user manufacturing organisations.

You will be responsible for identifying new commercial opportunities, developing existing customer relationships and promoting a comprehensive range of engineered products and technical solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing new business opportunities across the West Midlands and East Midlands, identifying and securing new customers within industrial engineering and manufacturing.
• Building strong commercial relationships with OEMs, machine builders, engineering manufacturers, industrial distributors and end-user organisations.
• Promoting a comprehensive portfolio of industrial gearboxes, geared motors, electric motors, mechanical drives and associated engineering solutions.
• Working closely with engineering managers, maintenance managers, technical buyers, procurement teams and senior decision-makers.
• Providing technical and commercial support, identifying customer applications and recommending suitable engineered solutions.
• Managing quotations, negotiations, customer enquiries and sales opportunities while developing a healthy and sustainable regional pipeline.
• Working alongside an experienced and supportive management team to increase regional revenue, market share and long-term customer partnerships.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are particularly interested in speaking with ambitious, energetic and technically astute sales professionals who have developed their careers within industrial engineering, mechanical power transmission, electric motors, drives, automation or associated technical product sectors.

You may currently be working as an Area Sales Manager, Regional Sales Manager, Territory Sales Manager, Technical Sales Engineer, Field Sales Engineer, External Sales Engineer, Business Development Manager, Business Development Engineer, Industrial Sales Engineer, Mechanical Sales Engineer, OEM Sales Engineer, Distribution Sales Manager or Key Account Manager.

We would also welcome applications from technically accomplished Internal Sales Engineers, Applications Engineers and Technical Support Engineers who have the commercial confidence, customer-facing experience and ambition to progress into an external sales position.

The ideal individual will demonstrate:

• A strong technical understanding of mechanical, electrical or electromechanical engineering products, with the ability to communicate confidently with engineering professionals.
• A proactive, enthusiastic and commercially driven approach, with a genuine passion for developing new business and building customer relationships.
• Experience selling technical products or engineered solutions into OEMs, industrial manufacturers, machine builders, distributors or end users.
• Excellent communication, relationship-building and negotiation skills, combined with a positive, professional and self-motivated personality.
• A genuine desire to develop their career, take ownership of a territory and contribute to the continued growth of an ambitious engineering organisation.

An HNC, HND, engineering apprenticeship, mechanical or electrical engineering degree, or equivalent practical industry experience would be advantageous, although technical aptitude, commercial ambition and the right attitude are equally important.

Relevant Technical Product Experience

Gearboxes & Drive Technology: Industrial gearboxes, geared motors, gear reducers, speed reducers, helical gearboxes, bevel gearboxes, worm gearboxes, industrial gear units and mechanical drive systems.

Electric Motors & Drives: AC motors, induction motors, electric motors, industrial motors, variable speed drives, frequency inverters, VSDs, VFDs, motor control systems and electromechanical drive solutions.

Mechanical Power Transmission: Bearings, couplings, clutches, brakes, chains, sprockets, industrial belts, pulleys, shafts, mechanical components and rotating equipment.

Industrial Automation & Engineering: Motion control, industrial automation, conveyor systems, materials handling equipment, pumps, fans, compressors, industrial machinery and engineered mechanical solutions.

Industrial Distribution & MRO: Engineering distributors, industrial supply companies, maintenance, repair and overhaul products, technical components, industrial spares and aftermarket engineering solutions.

You do not need experience across every product category. We are far more interested in your technical understanding, ability to engage with customers, enthusiasm for engineering and willingness to develop your product knowledge.

Industries & Customer Markets

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to support a diverse range of industrial markets, including manufacturing, automation, machine building, materials handling, food and beverage, packaging, recycling, waste management, quarrying, aggregates, mining, water and wastewater, steel production, metals processing, automotive, logistics, process engineering and general industrial manufacturing.

Experience selling technical products into OEMs, machine builders, industrial end users, engineering contractors, maintenance departments or industrial distributors would be particularly beneficial.

Why Join This Business?

This is where the opportunity really stands apart.

You will be joining a highly ambitious British engineering organisation experiencing significant growth, expanding its market presence and investing in its people, products and long-term future.

The company offers:

• An established and respected industrial engineering business with ambitious expansion plans and an exciting future.
• A comprehensive and expanding portfolio of high-quality engineered products and industrial drive solutions.
• A supportive, approachable and commercially focused leadership team that recognises initiative, commitment and achievement.
• Excellent earning potential, including a competitive basic salary, performance-related bonus, company car and attractive benefits.
• Comprehensive product training, technical support and genuine opportunities for long-term career development.

Unlike some larger corporate organisations, this is a business where individuals can make a genuine difference. Your contribution will be visible, your ideas will be welcomed and your success will directly influence the continued development of the organisation.

Ready to Take Your Career to the Next Level?

Perhaps you are an established Area Sales Manager looking for a fresh challenge, a Technical Sales Engineer seeking greater responsibility, or an ambitious Business Development professional looking to join a company where your hard work and achievements will genuinely be rewarded.

Whatever your current position, if you have experience within industrial engineering, electric motors, drives, gearboxes, power transmission, mechanical components, industrial automation or related technical products, we would be delighted to hear from you.

What matters most is your technical ability, commercial ambition, enthusiasm and desire to be part of something growing.
