What We’re Looking For:

* Proven B2B sales experience, ideally within an industrial, engineering or technical environment.

* A genuine new-business mentality.

* Confidence dealing with customers at all levels.

* Strong relationship-building and negotiation skills.

* Commercial awareness and excellent communication.

* Self-motivation and the ability to work independently.

* A proactive approach, being able to manage their own time.

* A full UK driving licence. A clean licence is preferred.

* Willingness to travel within Europe when required, including visits to our Head Office in Portugal for product training.

Learn From the Best

Their manufacturing operation and Head Office are based in Portugal. You’ll have the opportunity to visit for dedicated product training, working alongside experienced technical and product specialists to build the knowledge and confidence to sell both technically and commercially.

What’s In It For You?

* Salary: Competitive, based on experience (up to £50k for relevant experience and industry knowledge)

* Bonus: Attractive monthly sales & profit bonus scheme

* Company car

* Company mobile phone

* Laptop & iPad

* You’ll also have the support of an established sales and technical team, while retaining the freedom to run your territory
