Job summary

Talent Guardian is recruiting on behalf of a north Dublin manufacturer and distributor to hire a Sales Executive for trailers and construction machinery. The role is to own inquiries, prospect new customers, and guide builds from specification to order.

Based in Dublin, you will work five days in the office initially with limited travel, progressing to a flexible arrangement as the portfolio grows. A genuine mechanical interest and consultative selling approach are essential.

• 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.
