Industrial Machinery and Automation

Are you a talented sales professional with proven success in the electrical industry?

Interested in a financially secure and stable employer that didn’t furlough any staff in Covid, nor did it make any redundancies?

Why This Company?

With a multimillion-pound turnover and advanced manufacturing capabilities, my client has become a leading supplier of electrical solutions for a number of key and critical applications.

Following consecutive record-breaking sales years, coupled with the explosive growth in the data centre and automated warehousing industry, my client wishes to bolster its efforts within these markets by recruiting a sector specialist to take a dedicated and focussed approach to develop sales.

About The Role

Reporting to the Sales Director, you will be responsible for:

  • Spending around 1-3 days per week with customers and the remaining time based from a home office.
  • Forging solid relationships on new automated warehousing and data centre development projects with key decision-makers, including Electrical Design Engineers, Program Leaders, Electrical Rollout Specialists and the Heads of Electrical Deployment.
  • Operating in a 75% new and 25% existing sales role.
  • Acting as the UK segment leader for these markets.
  • Understanding customer project needs and providing guidance and input on the best-proposed solution.
  • Handling both technical and commercial enquiries from your customer base. (Inhouse technical support team available)
  • Attending industry events, exhibitions and shows.

About You

It is essential you possess electrical sales experience; this could be within, but not limited to, automation, switchgear, power infrastructure, circuit protection, conveyors, motor control, drives, Industrial IOT, PLC’s etc.

Ideally, you will possess a minimum of 2-3 years’ experience in an external sales role. However, my client is willing to consider Internal Sales Engineers who are ready to take that step into a field-based position.

A HNC, HND, or Degree in an Engineering discipline would be advantageous but not essential.

Other key skills needed:

  • Self-motivation and comfortable with longer sales cycles associated with project-based selling
  • Comfortable opening doors at design level, not just procurement
  • Hunter mentality with a desire to identify new prospects
  • Able to operate autonomously
  • Excellent communication skills with a consultative sales approach
  • Willingness to travel
  • Ability to listen and prepared to learn
  • Full driving license
