• Technical sales / Account management / Business Development Manager experience within Mechanical engineering or a related industrial sector.


• A recognised Mechanical engineering qualification and a good understanding of electromechanical machinery.


• Experience selling industrial equipment, engineering products, or technical services (such as pumps, motors, gearboxes, bearings, rotating equipment).


• Strong account management, relationship-building, and customer service skills.


• The ability to work autonomously and manage an established customer portfolio.


• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel throughout the territory, including occasional overnight stays.
