This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially focused and relationship-driven sales professional to join a close-knit team at an exciting time of growth and international expansion. This is not a cold-start sales role. The business receives a regular flow of inbound enquiries and holds established relationships across the UK and internationally.

With exposure to projects in aerospace, defence, oil & gas, and advanced manufacturing, you’ll play a key role in developing the commercial strategy, working closely with internal teams and travelling nationally and overseas as required. Key Responsibilities: Respond to and qualify inbound enquiries, gaining a clear understanding of customer requirements and offering the right product solutions. Convert qualified leads into orders through consultative and technical selling approaches. Maintain and grow relationships with existing clients, identifying cross-sell and upsell opportunities. Represent the business in client meetings, site visits, industry events and exhibitions – across the UK, Europe, and globally. Identify new business opportunities and support strategic growth across priority markets. Work collaboratively with internal teams including production, operations, and customer service to deliver an outstanding client experience. Monitor market activity and competitor trends to inform commercial strategy. Contribute to wider business development planning with the opportunity to progress into a leadership role over time. Candidate Profile: Proven experience in business development, account management, or technical sales, ideally within the metals, manufacturing, or engineering sectors. Strong commercial acumen with a consultative sales approach. Personable, professional, and confident engaging with technical stakeholders and procurement teams. A strong communicator with the ability to build long-term client relationships. Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively within a small, dedicated team. Ambitious, adaptable, and motivated by long-term growth – both professionally and personally. Willing and able to travel across the UK and internationally as required. What Our Client Offers: A permanent, full-time role based in Sheffield with regular national and international travel. The opportunity to work with global clients on a wide range of specialist projects. A collaborative, supportive team environment where ideas are welcomed. The chance to genuinely shape the future of the business, with a clear pathway for progression. A respected, values-led company culture with a focus on long-term relationships and quality service. How to Apply: If you’re a commercially minded sales professional with experience in the metals or manufacturing sectors and are looking for your next challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
