Job description

Location: The successful candidate should live in Central Scotland with quick access to motorway networks.

The Company:

From putting soles on your shoes to the tarmac they walk on; from a packet of crisps to silicon chips; from wooden toothpicks to electric cars, you’d be amazed at the things we get involved in. We work with those who make these things happen, enabling their efforts and dreams to be realized. Our role varies from significant to small, but it is never trivial and always rewarding.

Our client provides automation and fluid control solutions for factory and laboratory applications. Our target sectors include automotive, food, beverage & packaging, and the life sciences. The UK operation is located on a substantial 14-acre site in Milton Keynes, housing offices, design, manufacturing, and warehousing. Our client is a UK and global market leader in its field.

The Person:

We seek a passionate individual to join our Sales team. If you are driven, competitive, engaging, and always looking to improve, we want to hear from you! If you wonder why others don’t share your passion to get things done, if you dislike losing at games, if you can quickly build rapport with strangers, and if you are eager to grow, you might be the right fit.

The Role:

Growing business within Scotland’s machine & device manufacturers sector by selling to senior management, supply chain, and engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Meet or exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets.
• Create and follow a sales plan.
• Develop sales by understanding customer needs and building strong relationships.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities and markets.
• Maintain good relationships with distributor sales partners.
• Keep accurate records of sales activities using our CRM system.

Skills and Experience:

Sales experience and an engineering-based technical qualification are preferred, but attitude is more important. If you lack experience but have drive, competitiveness, and people skills, apply anyway—we’ll recognize your potential.

What's Offered:

Extensive sales, product, & application training, both in classroom and in-field, with a commitment to diversity and inclusion. Our client welcomes applications from all and is dedicated to attracting, recruiting, and retaining talented individuals. They support sustainable development goals and care for the future of the planet.

Benefits include a competitive package with retail discounts, life assurance, private medical cover, 25 days holiday (including holiday purchase scheme), a salary sacrifice personal pension plan, and more!

The Selection Process:

Successful candidates will undertake an online first interview, followed by online testing, and a final face-to-face interview at our client’s offices.
