£40,000 – £45,000 + Company Car + Benefits | Sheffield | UK & European Travel

Are you a technically minded sales professional looking for your next challenge?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established, specialist  business and play a key role in developing its customer base across the UK and Europe.

The company is a world leader in the repair of induction furnaces, coils, water-cooled leads and associated systems, and is looking for a Technical Sales Manager to join its established team.

This is a role where you can genuinely make an impact. You’ll have the opportunity to build relationships with key customers, understand their technical challenges and work closely with the production team to deliver the right solutions.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Director of Sales, you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of key accounts while actively developing new business opportunities.

You’ll be the main point of contact for customers, providing technical support, managing quotations and negotiations, and ensuring customers receive excellent service from initial enquiry through to delivery and after-sales support.

The role is varied and offers plenty of autonomy, with extensive UK and European travel.

What You'll Be Doing

Develop and maintain strong relationships with key customers across the UK.
Identify and secure new business opportunities.
Provide customers with technical product advice, support and troubleshooting.
Receive customer specifications and work with the Works Manager to prepare accurate quotations.
Manage the sales and negotiation process from enquiry through to order.

Build strong relationships with customers to maximise repeat business and after-sales opportunities.

Ideally, you’ll have:

The flexibility and willingness to travel extensively throughout the UK and Europe — potentially up to 75% of your time.

Why Join?

This is much more than simply a sales role.

You’ll be joining an established specialist business where technical expertise, customer relationships and quality of service really matter. You’ll have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of customers, travel across the UK and Europe, and become a key part of the company's continued growth.

If you’re technically strong, commercially minded and enjoy building relationships with customers, we’d love to hear from you.
