Sales Manager
Location: Blackpool (Hybrid) + UK Travel
Salary: £60,000 base + very generous commission structure
Opportunity
We’re partnering with a private equity-backed engineering services business on an exciting growth journey, with a current turnover of circa £20m and clear plans to scale significantly over the coming years.
They’ve built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality electrical solutions across commercial environments and now they’re looking for a Sales Manager to take ownership of the commercial function and play a pivotal role in driving the next phase of growth.
This is more than just a sales role; it’s an opportunity to build, shape, and lead a function, with genuine influence and visibility at board level.
What You’ll Be Driving
You’ll take full ownership of sales strategy and execution across a broad and growing service offering, including electrical installation, maintenance, compliance, and renewable energy solutions (solar, battery storage, EV charging).
* Developing and delivering a UK-wide sales strategy aligned with ambitious growth targets
* Identifying and unlocking new opportunities across commercial, FM, retail, and public-sector markets
* Building and leading a high‑performing sales / business development team as the company scales
* Leading key bids, tenders, and commercial negotiations
* Establishing long‑term, high‑value client relationships
* Collaborating closely with operational and technical teams to ensure seamless delivery
What Success Looks Like
* Strong, consistent revenue growth and margin improvement
* A robust, visible pipeline of high‑quality opportunities
* Expansion into new sectors and key accounts
* A scalable, structured, high‑performing sales function
What They’re Looking For
* Proven experience in a Sales Manager or senior BD role ideally within electrical contracting, M&E, or construction
* Strong knowledge of UK markets including compliance, installation, and/or renewables
* A track record of winning new business and exceeding revenue targets
* Experience with tenders, frameworks, and commercial negotiationspython
* Leadership capability with the ambition to build and grow a team
* A proactive, strategic mindset with strong commercial awareness
Experience across FM, retail rollouts, public sector, or green energy is a strong advantage.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Private equity backing — real investment, clear growth strategy, and momentum
* Huge scope for progression — this role is expected to evolve as the business scales (think Head of Sales / Commercial leadership)
* High earning potential — a genuinely strong and uncapped commission structure
* Real ownership — shape the sales function from the ground up
* Exposure to high‑growth sectors including renewable energy and sustainability
* A leadership team that values autonomy, ideas, and delivery
Package & Benefits
* £60,000 base salary
* Very generous bonus / commission scheme (uncapped earning potential)
* Company vehicle
* Pension scheme
* 25+ days holiday + bank holidays
* Ongoing training & professional development
* The opportunity to play a key role in scaling a £20m+ business
