* Managing quotations, proposals and commercial negotiations

* Developing strategic accounts and increasing share of wallet

* Identifying cross-selling and wider solution opportunities

* Sales forecasting and territory planning

* Converting opportunities from initial engagement through to order

* Building long-term commercial and technical partnerships

The Engineering Environment

You will be developing sales opportunities across customers operating within:

* General manufacturing and industrial OEMs

Projects can range from individual mechanical drive and transmission applications through to complete conveyor installations, automated production equipment, materials-handling systems, machine upgrades, retrofit programmes and high-volume OEM projects.

You will engage with customers at application level, understanding requirements around torque, speed, load, duty cycles, drivetrain configuration, machine architecture, operating conditions, reliability, energy efficiency and lifecycle performance.

Typical technology exposure could include:

Mechanical Drive Systems | Power Transmission | Gear Technology | Motors | Drives | Bearings | Conveyors | Motion | Automation | Rotating Equipment | Mechanical Components | Industrial Machinery | Engineered Systems

Who Are We Looking For?

We are deliberately open-minded regarding your exact product background.

You could currently be working as a:

Regional Sales Manager | Area Sales Manager | Business Development Manager | BDM | Technical Sales Engineer | Sales Engineer | Field Sales Engineer | Territory Sales Manager | Key Account Manager | Account Manager | OEM Sales Manager | Specification Sales Manager | Applications Sales Engineer | Regional Account Manager

Your experience could come from:
