Area Sales Manager

I'm currently supporting a global engineering manufacturer in their search for an Area Sales Manager to cover Scotland, Northern Ireland & the Republic of Ireland
.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded sales professional who enjoys developing long‑term customer relationships and selling premium engineering solutions based on value, reliability and total cost of ownership.

• Experience selling technical or engineering products
• Ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences
• Proven track record of growing accounts and achieving sales targets
• Experience working with distributors, OEMs, industrial end users or engineering customers
• Commercial awareness, strong organisation skills and a self‑motivated approach

Ideally, you will be from a power transmission background
, but we’re still keen to speak with candidates from bearings, industrial components, automation, fluid power, mechanical engineering, process equipment, manufacturing or other technical B2B sales environments.

Ideally based in the Glasgow area, although we would consider candidates elsewhere in Scotland.

• Salary up to £50,000
• Excellent pension scheme (up to 13%)

The business is a well‑established international manufacturer with a strong reputation for quality, innovation and customer service. You'll inherit an established territory while also having the autonomy to identify and develop new opportunities across Scotland and Ireland.

The role involves regular travel across the territory, including approximately eight visits to Ireland each year. The interview process includes a visit to the company's European headquarters in the Netherlands to meet the wider leadership team.

If you're an Area Sales Manager, Technical Sales Engineer, Business Development Manager, Account Manager or Regional Sales Manager with an engineering or industrial background, I'd be delighted to discuss the opportunity in confidence.
