Machine Tool Sales – Midlands

OTE £80,000 – £100,000+ (uncapped) and benefits

My clients are a machine tool company with an impressive range of products in their portfolio.  They have a range of brand new machine tools exclusive to the UK – however they also buy and sell used machines as well as exclusively representing a market leading and innovative software system brand. They have gone from strength to strength over the last few years and are now seeking an Area Sales Manager to work throughout the Midlands.  This area has performed well and has an existing, active, and well managed database.

This organisation is a fantastic business to work for with a lovely feel and an impressive facility/showroom.

Sales experience is preferred but not essential – the successful applicant will be managing themselves on a day to day basis although fully supported by the applications team and management and they recognise the benefits of assisting good engineers off the shop floor to develop a long term career in sales.

The commission structure is extremely lucrative, uncapped and the base salary is to be discussed depending on the applicant and their experience.

Travelling throughout the Midlands, applicants must be living on the patch.

General Manager – Midlands

Circa £80,000 salary plus benefits

My clients are a UK subsidiary of a global provider of work holding with an impressive range in their portfolio up to some of the highest levels of technology.  They have gone from strength to strength over the last few years and are now seeking a General Manager, ideally Midlands based.

The company has performed well in recent years and they are now looking to increase market share and drive the business forward.  This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to take over in terms of the chance to further build the business with active enquiries/customers and a great reputation. The reason for the vacancy is retirement and restructure.

The product range is “best in class” and the company are known as a wonderful organisation to work for.  The successful applicant will manage the team and the day to day running of the business, responsible for expansion and development.  Sales experience is essential as the successful applicant will be a hands-on sales/technical engineer managing themselves, visiting customers nationally, although fully supported. For this reason, management experience is also highly advantageous. The role involves a transition period with the existing GM but when they retire, you will have responsibility for the UK business as a whole.

Working on ongoing projects as well as annual service and occasional machine breakdowns.  Ideally, you will be conversant with either Fanuc or Siemens control systems.

The machines are technically challenging and this is an excellent opportunity.

Tooling Sales – Home Counties AND/OR Lower East Midlands

Up to £56,000 (dependent on experience) plus bonuses, profit share and benefits

My clients are a leading and unique cutting tool organisation.  They have a low staff turnover and provide an innovative tooling range as well as complete solutions for the metalworking industry.  They are currently experiencing their best year to date having achieved considerable growth in all areas and supply across all tooling ranges.  They seek a sales engineer to manage their existing database in the South East, gain new business opportunities and achieve growth in the Home Counties area.  Ideally applicants will live on patch and be able to move freely across it.

Sales experience is preferable and would involve a salary towards the high end of the figure given (dependent on the amount of experience).  However, my clients recognise the benefits of training and developing keen, communicative engineers from the shopfloor looking for the chance to move into something more commercial.  Whilst this would come with a lower salary, every effort is made to develop employees as soon as possible and will come with financial rewards as employees continue to succeed.

Applicants MUST have a thorough understanding of both manufacturing processes and the application of cutting tools. You will ideally have experience of working with 5 axis Machining Centres although all interested candidates are invited to apply.  Communication skills are essential.

The role is field based and there is an existing database to take over.  You will join a solid team and enjoy much support on a day to day basis.
