About Our Client

Our client is a family-owned, global leader in construction fixing technology, trusted by professionals in over 40 countries. With a product portfolio spanning over 15,000 articles — from chemical and mechanical anchors through to market‑leading FireStop and cavity barrier systems — they combine six decades of engineering heritage with a genuinely innovative, technically‑led approach to the market.

The Role — A Genuine Blank Page

This is a true green‑field opportunity: you'll be building this region from scratch. There is no existing patch to inherit, no legacy accounts to manage — you'll be establishing the relationships, the distributor network, and the specification pipeline from day one.

• Build the company's presence across Ireland from the ground up — establishing new relationships with contractors, specifiers, architects and fire engineers across the region
• Drive specification and adoption of the FireStop and cavity barrier systems, alongside the wider fixings portfolio (chemical anchors, mechanical fixings, insulation and ETICS fixings, renovation/strengthening systems)
• Establish and grow a distributor and merchant partner network across the territory, essentially from zero
• Deliver technical presentations, CPD seminars, and on‑site product training to build market credibility
• Identify and convert new business opportunities, supporting major and complex construction projects from specification through to installation
• Provide technical guidance on product selection, fire compliance, and system performance
• Work closely with technical, marketing and customer service teams to shape the Ireland strategy as it develops
• Represent the business at industry events, exhibitions and trade bodies across Ireland, establishing brand presence in the market

What You'll Bring

• Proven technical sales experience within construction fixings, fire protection, or a closely related building products category
• Strong technical understanding of fixing systems and/or passive fire protection (cavity barriers, firestopping)
• Confident engaging with specifiers, architects, fire engineers and main contractors at a technical level
• Track record of winning specification and managing the full sales cycle on technical, project‑based work
• Genuine appetite for building a territory from scratch, not just managing an existing one
• Full clean driving licence and willingness to travel extensively across Ireland

Desirable

• Experience with rainscreen and cladding systems, or flat roofing build‑up and subframes
• Existing relationships within the Irish construction, fire protection, or specification market
• Formal qualification or training in passive fire protection/firestopping
• Experience with CPD delivery and technical training

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary, reflective of experience
• Company car
• Company pension scheme
• Private healthcare
• Structured technical training and career development, backed by a global engineering heritage
• Genuine autonomy in a field‑based role, with the support of a long‑established, family‑owned business

Working Conditions
