How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

    Job description

    Area Sales Manager

    South of England £50,000 - £60,000 Basic + Company Car / £550 Monthly Car Allowance + Bonus OTE £72,000 + Benefits

    Are you a consultative sales professional with experience selling technical solutions, capital equipment, engineered projects, or bespoke industrial systems?

    This is an opportunity to join a highly successful and growing UK manufacturer and solutions provider specialising in industrial dust and fume extraction systems. The business has an established reputation for helping manufacturers create safer, cleaner and more efficient working environments through innovative filtration technology.

    With strong financial backing, ambitious growth plans and a high volume of incoming enquiries, this role offers the opportunity to focus on high-quality sales opportunities while developing long-term customer relationships across the South of England.

    The Company

    Our client is a market-leading engineering business that designs, manufactures and installs industrial air filtration and extraction systems for customers across a wide range of industries.

    Operating throughout the UK and internationally, they provide complete turnkey solutions covering design, equipment manufacture, installation and ongoing service support.

    Their systems are used by customers operating in sectors including:

    Food & Beverage Manufacturing
    Pharmaceutical Production
    Chemical Processing
    General Manufacturing
    Building Materials
    Industrial Processing
    The business continues to invest heavily in product development, people and infrastructure, creating an excellent platform for long-term career success.

    The Opportunity

    Covering the South of England, you will be responsible for managing a territory generating significant levels of inbound enquiry while also developing new business opportunities within key target sectors.

    Approximately 80% of your activity will be focused on key accounts and incoming project enquiries, allowing you to spend your time understanding customer requirements, conducting site visits and developing tailored technical solutions.

    This is not a catalogue sales role. Success comes from understanding customer processes, identifying challenges and delivering bespoke project-based solutions.

    Typical project values range from £35,000 to £80,000, with sales cycles usually lasting between two weeks and three months.

    Key Responsibilities

    Manage and develop customer relationships across the South of England.
    Respond to and convert incoming project enquiries.
    Conduct customer meetings and site surveys.
    Understand manufacturing processes and operational challenges.
    Develop technically appropriate filtration and extraction solutions.
    Prepare and present commercial proposals.
    Manage projects through the sales cycle from enquiry to order.
    Maintain an accurate sales pipeline and CRM records.
    Deliver territory sales and profitability targets.
    Identify new opportunities within existing and prospective accounts.
    Work closely with engineering and project delivery teams to ensure successful project handovers.
    Monitor market trends and competitor activity.

    Strong commercial awareness.
    Comfortable conducting customer site visits.
