BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER / SALES EXEC -

A Business Development Manager / Sales Exec is needed to join Highwire Ltd, a specialist provider of fall protection and height safety solutions based in Dukinfield. This is a high visibility role offering uncapped commission (established OTE £50k+), car allowance and a clear pathway to full target within your first year.

Founded in 1997, Highwire are leaders in the provision of Fall Protection and Height Safety Solutions. Backed by a corporate parent company, they have a large presence but day to day it feels like a tight knit team. The office is relaxed and energetic, so this role would suit someone who is confident and comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting involved. If you like personality, pace and accountability, you will fit right in.

This is a blended office and field based sales role. You will generate and follow up opportunities from an active project pipeline while also prospecting for new business across targeted industrial sectors. You will attend site surveys, meet customers face to face, interpret drawings and specifications, and produce quotations aligned to relevant design standards. Alongside winning new projects, you will build repeat business, develop key accounts and protect margins.

You will report daily sales activity, forecast performance and attend monthly review meetings to analyse conversion rates and drive continuous improvement. This is a role for someone who enjoys owning their numbers. To support your ramp up, there is a phased target structure across your first twelve months, building progressively towards full target. Commission is uncapped, paid quarterly and triggered once 75 percent of target is achieved, with rates varying by product and contract type. Strong performers can build a highly attractive overall package.

To qualify, you should be a Sales Executive, Sales Engineer, Technical Sales Engineer, Business Development Manager, Sales Consultant or similar with a CV that demonstrates:

• The natural ability to communicate with people and build relationships;
• BDM / Sales experience (ideally gained within a B2B / Construction environment or similar);
• That you are practically minded (the ability to understand working drawings is a distinct advantage);
• That you are a team player whilst also happy to work on your own;
• Willingness to travel (as required for onsite visits for surveys and quotations);
• Comfortable working at height (where applicable);
• A full UK Driving Licence;
• Additional security screening may be required, e.g. DBS check.

Full product training is provided, so although height safety / access solutions experience is helpful, it is not essential. In return, you can expect a competitive basic salary, car allowance paid monthly, uncapped quarterly commission, corporate gym discounts, hybrid working once probation is complete, and working hours of Monday to Thursday 08:00 to 16:30 and Friday 08:00 to 16:00, with early finishes often available.
