Sector: Industrial Gas Solutions

Are you sick of flogging low-quality kit and being treated like a "walking discount code"? You know the drill. Customers push for cheaper prices because they don't trust the product, and managers just want more calls and more quotes. It is hard to take pride in the job when the tools you are given are not up to scratch.

I am representing a genuinely premium brand that engineers actually respect. This is equipment that does not fail, does not need excuses, and does not damage your reputation. You won't be discounting your way to a deal, you will be solving complex problems through proper, technical, value‑led selling.

• Technical Credibility: You are selling high‑accuracy kit into critical environments like Pharma, Semicon, and Labs. The brand has enough weight that you don't need to "blag" your way through a meeting.
• Adult Autonomy: You are trusted to run your patch like a grown‑up. There is no micromanagement and no daily dashboards, just support when you need it and the freedom to build real relationships.
• Consultative Impact: Think more "Problem Solver" and less "Catalogue Pusher." You will get deep into customer processes to recommend solutions that actually work.

• Managing and developing a territory across the North, including Yorkshire, the North West, the North East, and Scotland.
• Building long‑term partnerships with industrial users of high‑purity gas control equipment.
• Identifying new business opportunities through logic, curiosity, and honest technical conversations.
• Recommending high‑quality solutions for demanding applications where precision is non‑negotiable.

• You have a proven track record in industrial or technical sales.
• You are naturally logical and enjoy breaking down technical problems for your customers.
• You are fed up with being micromanaged or blamed for issues caused by poor‑quality products.
• You want to sell on value and build a reputation for quality rather than just chasing quick wins.

• Base Salary: £55,000.
• Bonus: 20% performance‑related bonus.
• Autonomy: Massive trust to manage your own diary and strategy.
• Product Pride: Representing a market‑leading range that makes conversations easier, not harder.
