• Prepare quotations and manage sales opportunities from initial enquiry through to completion.
• Build strong, long-term relationships with customers and key contacts.
• Work closely with internal teams to provide a high level of customer service.
• Maintain accurate CRM information and develop a healthy sales pipeline.

About You

• Mechanically or technically experienced with an understanding of engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, plant hire or industrial environments.
• Confident communicating with engineers, workshop teams, managers and business owners.
• Previous experience within field sales, account management or business development.
• Commercially focused, proactive and comfortable managing your own territory.
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
• Full UK driving licence with the flexibility to travel throughout Central and North East Scotland.

Previous experience within plant hire, industrial equipment, engineering consumables, machinery or technical products would be advantageous, although comprehensive product training will be provided.
