* Responsible for generating sales of woodworking tooling and wide bandsaws.

To be suitable for this role of Sales Manager / Business Development Manager / Sales Engineer you should have previous sales experience gained within a manufacturing / tooling company, ideally with a service element to it. You should have excellent IT skills to include Microsoft Excel and ERP systems. Experience from a fabrication / joinery / woodworking environment is essential as you need to have an understanding of the tools.
The site hours are 8am – 5pm Mon – Fri but as with all sales roles an element of flexibility would be required. This role is office based but you would be expected to be out on the road for 3-4 days a week. Your customers will be up to around 2hours away so quite local.
