This is a senior business development role with a specialised fabricator of machinery that has a long history of addressing unique client challenges.

Order values range from £40,000 to £1.5 million, and clients are located globally. The entire process, from concept to finished machine, is carried out in-house in the UK to ensure the highest quality of the final product. Example projects for 2025 include industrial furnaces, turbines, compactors, and pulping machines.

We're looking for a Sales and Business Development Manager with the technical knowledge to understand complex customer problems and have the commercial and engineering knowledge to suggest practical solutions.

This is a remote role, working from home and meeting clients as needed. However, to apply, you need to live in the North-West of England.

About the Role of Sales and Business Development Manager

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to take ownership of the sales process from day one. Until now, all generated leads have been handled by third-party sales agencies, but the firm is now looking to bring this function in-house. You will have the freedom to implement sales processes and systems that have proven effective for you in the past, including CRM, inbound marketing tools, and outreach strategies.

You will be responsible for identifying and securing new business opportunities on a global scale. Your success in this role will be rewarded with the opportunity to grow your own team and become a member of the senior leadership team.

What we're looking for

* We need someone with a background in mechanical engineering who has experience selling bespoke engineering solutions.
* The ideal candidate will have the technical know-how to meet with clients, understand their challenges, and then work with the internal technical team to develop and quote a solution.
* This is a role that requires resilience and self-motivation. You'll be managing your own sales pipeline using a CRM system that you will implement, so you'll need to be organised and proactive.

In Return, You Will Receive

* A competitive salary of £60,000 to £70,000, depending on experience.
* A commission/bonus scheme to be agreed between you and the company with a realistic OTE of £100,000
* 25 days of annual leave, plus Bank Holidays.
* A company car and a pension plan.

Interviews for this position will be held in early September, with a view to a start date in October.
