We are looking to speak with candidates with strong account management, distribution management, and business development skills, along with a mechanical engineering background, providing realistic earnings of £85,000+ plus fantastic career progression within a large multi-billion manufacturing group.
The Candidate:
1. External sales experience from an associated sector (i.e., hydraulics, pumps, valves, fluid dynamics)
