We’re on the hunt for a successful B2B Sales Engineer, with demonstrable knowledge and experience of selling electrical components/ products to electricity distribution clients, to join an incredibly successful international organisation as their first UK Sales / Business Development Engineer.
Joining what will feel like a startup environment, yet with the security, reputation and magnitude of a global organisation, the B2B Sales Engineer will be tasked with securing significant contracts with UK-wide electricity distribution network operators, and helping to establish and then propel the UK arm of the business, growing a team as the business expands.
We’re looking for a business savvy and results-driven Sales Engineer who is looking for a new challenge and would jump at the opportunity to join a fast-growing organisation and expand their offerings in the UK market. Knowledge and experience of electrical products / the electrical engineering sector is what we’re looking for, so that you can confidently and reliably introduce the specialist products to prospective clients and manage the current client base.
Having a ‘little black book’ of contacts you have worked with previously in this sector, will be the icing on the cake!
Role location:
Our client is flexible on the location of the successful candidate (within the UK) as this is an independent, remote working role; however, it will include a great deal of travel to attend client meetings throughout the UK and company meetings in Ireland, therefore being centrally located (Birmingham / Midlands / Scottish Borders etc) may be best suited to this role.
Key responsibilities as the B2B Sales Engineer will include:
* Electrical product sales to UK-wide electrical distribution network operators
* Gaining client product approvals
* Identifying, targeting and acquiring new clients for this business through prospecting, networking and utilising contacts within the industry
* Regularly attending client meetings and building strong and sustainable relationships at senior level
* Producing detailed presentations and undertaking product deep-dives with clients
* Acting as a trusted advisor to clients
* Managing the sales process and ensuring client satisfaction
* Undertaking marketing activities as required
* Growing the team when required
* Maintaining an accurate database / CRM
What we’re looking for:
* Demonstrable success in similar Sales / Business Development Engineer roles (electricity distribution and networks etc.)
* Solid understanding of electricity distribution and networks in the UK
* Willingness and ability to travel regularly, primarily within the UK and Ireland
* A relevant degree (electrical engineering or similar) is advantageous
* Entrepreneurial and business-savvy individual
* Start-up mindset, driven to build success
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to build and maintain strong business relationships
* A ‘little black book’ of industry contacts is highly desirable
* IT literate with experience of using a CRM
* Ability to travel regularly throughout the UK
What’s on offer?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an international organisation at a point of rapid-growth, spearheading the expansion into the UK market. Our client is offering a competitive basic salary £70k-£80k, plus a generous bonus scheme. You could be based anywhere in the UK for this role, but will need to be able to travel regularly throughout the UK and Ireland.
