A world leading manufacturer of hydraulic components is now looking for an experienced senior sales professional who has sold hydraulic components into industrial OEMs and distributors across the UK. You will have a strong network of customers who buy hydraulic components (e.g., machine tool manufacturers, food processing, oil and gas, power, energy, gas turbine manufacturers, machine builders, metal cutting and forming, injection moulding, industrial hydraulic distributors, and hydraulic system integrators). You will be working for a £20 billion+ group that is ambitiously growing through acquisition and new client acquisition.

We anticipate one day will be spent working from your home office with four days focusing on developing and managing customers. We are looking to speak with candidates with strong account management, distribution management, and business development skills, along with a mechanical engineering background, giving realistic earnings of £85,000+ plus fantastic career progression within a large multi-billion manufacturing group.
The Candidate:
* External sales experience from an associated sector (i.e., hydraulics, pumps, valves, fluid dynamics)
