This is an opportunity to build a long-term career within an ambitious, engineering-focused business, taking ownership of customer relationships, developing new business and contributing directly to the growth of the sector.

You will initially work alongside our experienced sales team, receiving full product and industry training before taking increasing responsibility for sales performance and market development.

Location: Remote-based, with required weekly visits to company HQ in Verwood, Dorset. Ideally candidate located south of M4 corridor.

For the right candidate, there is a genuine opportunity to progress into a Sales Manager role as the business grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new business and build strong relationships with existing customers.
• Understand customer requirements and recommend appropriate technical solutions.
• Manage sales opportunities from initial enquiry through to quotation, negotiation and order placement.
• Generate leads through proactive outreach, networking and market development.
• Prepare quotations, technical proposals and tenders.

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in sales, ideally within technical, B2B, engineering or related markets.
• Interested in vehicles, engineering, electrical systems, automotive HVAC or specialist applications.
• Commercially aware, with strong communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• Proactive, organised and motivated to generate new business.
• A practical problem-solver who enjoys understanding customer needs.
• Ambitious to develop their commercial skills and take on future leadership responsibility.

A basic technical understanding is required, but extensive product knowledge is not essential, as full training will be provided.

This role offers the opportunity to develop beyond a traditional sales position. As you gain experience and demonstrate results, you will take greater ownership of the sector, contribute to sales strategy and help shape future business development.

With the right performance and business growth, the longer-term opportunity is to progress into Sales Manager Vehicle & Specialist Applications, with responsibility for sales strategy, commercial performance and potentially developing a wider sales team.
