THE COMPANY: My client is a North – East based manufacturer of highly engineered precision industrial components and products that are sold to end users around the world. They can be used in military, oil, gas and other process/petro-chem based industries as well as a component in other manufacturer’s finished products. The company is part of a UK industrial conglomerate that has invested heavily in this country and has ambitious plans to grow the company substantially.

THE ROLE: Using a mixture of already established contacts and your own initiative to generate new business you will pursue sales at a senior level amongst contractors and specifiers who provide services to or supply the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. Whilst the majority of your time will be focused on efforts within the UK and W Europe your brief will be global. You will be expected to spend roughly one quarter of your time on the road within your specified territory (UK and Europe) and the remainder working from the Tyneside head office.

THE PERSON: You will be from a technical/mechanical, business-to-business Sales background with a good knowledge of the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. Furthermore you will need to demonstrate a proactive approach to developing new business and take responsibility for achieving pre-agreed targets. Commercial acumen and sales ability are as important as a technical background.

THE REWARDS: As well as an excellent negotiable basic salary of between £72,000 – £78,000– 65k basic, car and a bonus scheme that will reward achievement there are real opportunities to grow your level of responsibility within the organization beyond that at group level as my client prepares for a new period of structured growth.
