Overview
A new opportunity has arisen for an experienced Regional Sales Manager to take ownership of the South Coast territory, including London, within a growing mechanical engineering services business. This role reports directly to the UK Sales Manager and is focused on driving revenue growth through a blend of new business development, engineered solutions selling and long‑term account management.
Responsibilities
- You will be responsible for developing a strong and sustainable pipeline, converting opportunities into long‑term partnerships and increasing market share across a range of industrial sectors.
- With an annual revenue target of around £1m, we are looking for someone who has consistently delivered against commercial goals and understands how to grow a territory with intent, structure and genuine customer engagement.
- Around 40% of the role will focus on managing and developing existing accounts, ensuring customers receive a high level of service while identifying opportunities to expand revenue through engineered upgrades, planned maintenance support and the supply of mechanical components.
- The remainder will centre on securing new business, developing a territory plan aligned with wider commercial objectives and promoting a broad portfolio of mechanical engineering services, site support and technical solutions.
Qualifications
The customer base spans sectors such as Energy from Waste, aggregates, recycling, food and beverage, fabrication and wider heavy industry. Experience selling into industrial environments will be highly advantageous, particularly if you have worked with mechanical power transmission, conveyor systems, rotating equipment or engineered assemblies. Familiarity with the products, customer base and buying behaviours in this space will allow you to make an immediate impact and build credibility quickly. A strong track record of client retention is essential. This role requires someone who genuinely invests in long‑term relationships, spends time on site with their customers and understands the commercial value of consistency, trust and ongoing engagement. Keeping clients close – not just winning them – is a key part of the brief.
Success in this role requires strong negotiation skills, confidence presenting to senior stakeholders and the ability to interpret technical requirements when working with engineered components and site‑based services. Experience in solution‑based selling, territory planning and pipeline generation is important, along with a background in field‑based sales. Candidates from industrial distribution, engineering services or similar product areas will also be considered. A relevant technical or commercial qualification would be beneficial, and a full UK driving licence is required.
Benefits
You will be rewarded with an excellent starting salary, a company car or car allowance, a commission and bonus scheme and additional benefits. The business has also recently reviewed its internal structure to map out clear progression pathways.
