Permanent
If you already understand lifting equipment, cranes, hoists, material handling or a closely related industrial market, this could be a very interesting opportunity.
We are recruiting for an established engineering business that wants to strengthen its commercial capability and bring in someone who can genuinely help develop new business.
This is not about finding somebody with the perfect job title.
It is about finding someone with the right experience, credibility and commercial instinct.
You might currently be a Sales Engineer, Business Development Manager, Area Sales Manager or working in another commercially focused role within lifting, cranes, hoists, material handling, industrial equipment or a related engineering sector.
What matters is that you understand the type of customers involved, can recognise genuine opportunities and are comfortable building relationships that ultimately turn into business.
What you'll be doing
You will take responsibility for developing commercial opportunities across both new and existing customers.
That will include identifying and developing new business, building relationships with engineering and manufacturing companies, recognising project opportunities, supporting quotations and tenders, and helping the business strengthen its presence within the market.
There is also scope to look at existing and lapsed customers and identify where relationships can be rebuilt or developed further.
This is not simply an account-management role and it is not a high-volume transactional sales position.
The business wants someone who can understand a customer's requirement, ask the right questions and develop the opportunity properly.
What we are looking for
The most important thing is relevant industry experience.
You should have a background connected to areas such as:
- Lifting equipment
- Cranes
- Hoists
- Material handling
- Machinery movement
- Industrial equipment
- Technical engineering services
- Closely related capital equipment or engineering markets
You do not need to come from exactly the same job title.
We are much more interested in whether you understand the market, can communicate credibly with customers and have the commercial ability to develop business. xgikmsk
You will need to be comfortable creating opportunities rather than simply waiting for enquiries to arrive.
The package
The basic salary is expected to be in the region of £45,000–£60,000, alongside a company car or allowance and a performance-related bonus...
