• Genuine autonomy to develop new business opportunities
• Long-term career progression within an expanding organisation
• Competitive salary, bonus and benefits package

About You

We''re keen to speak with ambitious sales professionals who can demonstrate:

• Experience selling engineered products, services or solutions in a B2B environment
• Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
• Experience managing longer, consultative sales cycles
• Confidence discussing technical applications and customer requirements
• A proactive approach to generating opportunities rather than relying on inbound enquiries

If you''re an ambitious Business Development Manager looking for a role where you can make a genuine commercial impact, we''d love to hear from you.
