• Support industry exhibitions, product demonstrations, and marketing events as needed.
• Liaise with internal teams to follow up on opportunities and ensure total customer satisfaction.
• Collaborate with the Finance team on payment and client account queries.
• Respond promptly to client inquiries regarding pricing, availability, and technical terms.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in a technical sales or field sales role (preferably within measurement, engineering, or manufacturing industries).
• A strong technical aptitude with the ability to quickly learn and understand complex product ranges and metrology principles.
• A self-starter who is highly organised and thrives on managing their own sales territory.
• Confident communicator with exceptional relationship-building and negotiation skills.
• A team player who can also operate autonomously out in the field.
• Full driving licence and a willingness to travel extensively within the Midlands region.

Why Apply?

• Represent a globally respected brand synonymous with innovation, quality, and reliability.
• Competitive basic salary alongside a highly lucrative, uncapped commission structure.
• Fully expensed company car provided.
• Benefit from heavy investment in your career, with comprehensive product, technical, and management training.
