This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, entrepreneurial individual who wants the autonomy to run a business as though it were their own, without the restrictions of a heavily corporate environment. We are looking for someone who combines strong technical knowledge of Heavy Plant machinery with commercial awareness, sales ability and genuine leadership qualities. The successful candidate will have complete ownership of the division, from developing new business and managing key accounts through to overseeing engineers, coordinating parts and ensuring the business delivers an exceptional service. The Role Take full responsibility for the day-to-day management, commercial performance and strategic growth of the division. Identify, develop and secure new business opportunities across the Heavy Plant and construction equipment sectors. Build and maintain strong relationships with customers, manufacturers, plant hire businesses and contractors. Lead, manage and support a team of engineers, ensuring high standards of service, productivity and customer satisfaction. Oversee service operations, repairs, maintenance, parts supply and technical support. Manage customer meetings, negotiate commercial agreements and develop long-term partnerships. Drive revenue, profitability and operational efficiency across the business. Identify opportunities to expand the company's services, customer base and market presence. Operate with significant autonomy, making commercial and operational decisions without the need for constant direction. The Candidate Strong background within Heavy Plant, Plant Hire, Construction Equipment or Engineering Services. Proven experience in a senior management, operational leadership or commercial management position. Technically competent with a strong understanding of plant machinery, servicing, repairs and maintenance. Commercially astute, with the confidence to open doors, generate business and develop customer relationships. Experience managing engineers, service departments or technical operations. An entrepreneurial mindset with the ambition to grow and develop a business. Confident making decisions independently and taking accountability for results. Comfortable working autonomously without requiring constant support or supervision. A natural leader who can balance commercial growth with operational delivery. What's on Offer? £80,000 – £100,000 Basic Salary Performance-Related Bonus Car Allowance Significant autonomy and decision-making authority. Opportunity to lead and develop an established engineering business. Genuine scope to influence the future direction, growth and success of the division. Why Apply? This isn't a position for somebody who simply wants to manage an existing operation and maintain the status quo. We are looking for somebody who wants to take ownership, make decisions, win business, lead people and build something. You will need to be equally comfortable sitting in front of a major customer discussing commercial opportunities as you are speaking with engineers about technical issues, service delivery or parts requirements. There will be challenges, and the role will require independence, resilience and accountability. However, for the right individual, it offers the freedom to make a genuine impact and the opportunity to run a business with the autonomy normally associated with a Managing Director. If you're an experienced Heavy Plant professional with the technical knowledge, commercial drive and leadership ability to take a business forward, NEOS Engineering Recruitment would like to hear from you.
