Job Description
I am working closely with my UK client, a leading designer and manufacturer of specialist solutions for hazardous area electrical equipment protection serving a global client base across a range of industries, to find an experienced Internal Sales and Applications Engineer to join their Sales & Service Team.
This is an exciting time to be joining them as they are continuing to expand their core product ranges, integrating technological developments, responding to an ever-evolving regulatory environment, and the development of bespoke solutions to meet specific customer needs.
After completing tailored product training as part of your personalised induction you will be required to execute effective sales of the company's products and services. You will provide technical guidance to external customer and channel partners; assisting in the qualification of project requirements; and facilitating the efficient flow of orders and information to other departments.
The successful candidate will be picking up a fully-populated pipeline and very warm desk of inbound enquiries, so no cold calling or door knocking required! Due to their reputation in the industry and successful track record with current and previous customers, the company is in the enviable position of being able to be selective about which projects they chose to take on and which to turn away.
The company also has a dedicated marketing machine for attracting new customers in the sectors they are looking to target more (i.e. renewables, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and hydrogen) and you will be providing input into this.
Applicants should have customer-facing experiences as you will be managing relationships between internal and external stakeholders. You should also have a strong commercial sense and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple enquiries and projects in progress simultaneously.
Previous experience of hazardous environments (i.e. ATEX, nuclear, oil & gas or chemical industries) is preferred but not essential - this could be either selling into these industries or within a previous role as a service engineer, proposals engineer, or having worked on engineering products and projects used in these settings.
Applications are invited from Technical Sales Engineers, Applications Engineers, Proposal Engineers, as well as Design Engineers, Project Engineers and Service Engineers with customer-facing experience who are interested in progressing into sales.
In return they are willing to pay an attractive salary for the right candidate which will be negotiable based on experience and benefits package. In addition, you will be given a detailed personalised induction and personal development plan. The company will be able to offer career progression within the company in the future.
There is no commission or individual sales bonus associated with the role as they want this individual to be focused on making the right decisions for the company and customers rather than chasing targets. This also provides financial stability and certainty for the successful candidate with elements such as mortgages with guaranteed income. There will be a bonus based on company and individual performance.
More information available upon application.
