• Drive the introduction of long-term service agreements and other commercial initiatives.

• Extensive experience in the industrial market with a strong technical understanding of wastewater treatment processes, particularly SAFF and DAF systems.
• Knowledge of pumps or rotating equipment, especially in water and wastewater applications.
• Proven leadership experience within a commercial or sales organisation.

Role Location: Home-based, with responsibility for customers across the UK. You’ll manage your own schedule, balancing customer site visits, working from home, and time in our facilities. Midlands-based is ideal but not essential – what matters most is your willingness to travel nationwide.
