B2B Sales Engineer
B2B Sales Engineer – Electrical Products – UK /Hybrid (home working + extensive UK travel) – £70k-£80k (DoE) + generous bonus
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.
