Job description

Are you a technically minded sales professional who wants to do more than sell a product? This is an opportunity to join a growing start-up with big ambitions and a clear purpose, helping businesses reduce energy use, cut carbon emissions and move towards net zero.

Process Energy Ltd is looking for a Technical Sales Manager to help build and grow our technical process sales business. We work with industrial customers to improve process efficiency, reduce energy consumption, cut carbon emissions, and lower operating costs through optimisation, waste-heat recovery, and advanced thermal-process solutions. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants the scope, influence, and ownership that comes with being part of a small company with big ambitions.

Why this role?

You will be close to the decisions, close to the customers, and close to the impact. Your ideas, technical insight, and commercial drive will directly shape how we grow — with real opportunity to progress into a senior leadership role.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading targeted sales activity, from marketing and customer calls to site visits and proposal development.
• Identifying market opportunities and building practical account and acquisition plans.
• Working with customers to understand their challenges and present clear, commercially sound technical solutions.
• Developing energy-saving and low-carbon project concepts, including heat recovery and thermal-process improvements.
• Collaborating with Applications and Process Engineering colleagues to turn ideas into viable projects.
• Building trusted customer relationships and helping shape the future direction of a growing business.

What we’re looking for

• A background in technical sales, business development, manufacturing, or thermal-process industries.
• Knowledge of industrial thermal systems such as drying, ovens, combustion, heat recovery, thermal oxidisers, steam, hot water, hot air, or thermal oil systems.
• The confidence to open doors, build relationships, and translate technical opportunities into strong commercial propositions.
• An engineering qualification in Chemical, Mechanical, or Process Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• A proactive, hands-on approach and the motivation to make a genuine difference in a smaller, ambitious company.

Why join Process Energy Ltd?

We are a recently established business with deep industry expertise, practical delivery capability, and the backing of a Thermal Equipment OEM with 90 years of manufacturing heritage in Yorkshire. That means you’ll have the freedom and visibility of a small company, with the credibility and support of a long-established engineering background.

What’s on offer

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Performance-related bonus.
• Laptop, mobile phone, and standard business tools.
• Pension contributions.
• A genuine opportunity to grow with the business and take on senior responsibility.
