They are looking for an External Sales Executive to join their expanding Packaging Division in Rotherham, working with engineering and manufacturing businesses across the UK.

The ideal candidate will live within reasonable commuting distance of Rotherham although this is not essential given the level of national travel involved.

You should be comfortable selling technical products or solutions into manufacturing environments and have a genuine understanding of how engineering businesses operate.

The Role

You'll inherit an existing portfolio of engineering and manufacturing customers, while also being responsible for developing new business and identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts.

The focus is on providing protective packaging solutions that help manufacturers improve:

Component protection
Handling and storage
Transportation
Packaging efficiency
Factory organisation
Logistics and operational processes

A key part of the role will be visiting customer sites, understanding their processes and identifying where packaging solutions can solve a problem or improve efficiency.

We're looking for someone commercially minded who naturally looks at a manufacturing environment and thinks: "There's an opportunity here."

You'll be responsible for building relationships with engineering, purchasing and manufacturing contacts, developing new business, expanding existing accounts and managing opportunities from initial enquiry through to quotation, trials and implementation.

Criteria

Minimum 3 years' external B2B sales experience essential within engineering, industrial, technical sales or industrial packaging
A proven track record in account management and business development within engineering, industrial, technical sales or industrial packaging
Experience selling technical products or solutions within engineering, industrial, technical sales or industrial packaging
The ability to identify commercial opportunities within manufacturing environments
Strong communication, presentation and relationship-building skills
Excellent commercial awareness and problem-solving ability
A highly organised and self-motivated approach
The confidence to cold call and actively develop new business
A full UK driving license

This is a genuinely field-based external sales role, with national travel and multiple customer visits each day. You'll need to be comfortable spending a significant amount of your time on the road and be organised enough to maximise your time when working within different geographical areas.

Interested?

If you're an experienced engineering, industrial, technical or industrial packaging sales professional looking for a genuinely autonomous external sales role with an established and growing business, we'd like to hear from you.

Please note: candidates without relevant engineering, industrial, technical sales or industrial packaging experience will not be considered.
