We are working with an established specialist business operating within the power and electrical infrastructure market to appoint an Area Sales Manager covering Ireland and Scotland.

Candidates must be based in Ireland and comfortable travelling regularly across the territory, including into Scotland when required.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an important geographical area, developing existing customer relationships while also identifying and winning new business across the power, utilities, electrical infrastructure and wider energy markets.

• Building relationships with contractors, distributors, utilities, infrastructure businesses and other relevant customers
• Developing new business across the territory
• Understanding customer requirements and providing appropriate technical and commercial solutions
• Working closely with the wider commercial and technical teams
