Job description

Sales Executive - Trailers and Machinery

Location: Dublin

Are you mechanically minded, driven, and looking for a sales career where the product is genuinely worth talking about?

Talent Guardian is recruiting on behalf of a manufacturer and distributor based in north Dublin. Our client builds premium stainless steel catering trailers for coffee, street food, event and bar businesses, supplied across Ireland and Europe, and sells construction machinery and plant into the same market from the same site.

This is the first dedicated sales hire across the two ranges. The marketing spend, the websites and the enquiries are already there. What is missing is someone to own them, work the phone, and turn interest into orders before the season picks up in February.

The role

• Own the inbound enquiries coming from paid search, the websites and social channels, and follow each one through to order.
• Prospect outbound by phone and email into coffee shops, restaurants and start-up food concepts, universities, stadiums, shopping centres, and mobile operators from photographers to pet groomers.
• Specify and quote builds with the technical team, covering layout, equipment, weights and compliance.
• Upsell within the trailer range and cross-sell machinery, supporting the rental side alongside new and used sales.
• Represent the business at UK and European trade and consumer shows, including the National Ploughing Championships.

You

• A genuine interest in machines. A mechanical background, engineering study or hands-on experience with equipment counts for more here than a polished sales CV.
• Technical nous, and comfortable discussing specification rather than working from a script.
• Driven and early in your career, happy to pick up the phone to someone who is not expecting your call.
• Consultative and professional. These are considered purchases, not a hard sell.

What is on offer

A competitive base salary plus commission on revenue, with outbound business rewarded at double the inbound rate and no threshold in year one. Five days a week in the office to begin with, moving to a flexible arrangement once established. Travel is limited and always alongside the technical team.

You will learn the trailer range first, then take on the construction machinery range as the role grows.
