This is a rare opportunity to become part of a globally recognised organisation that invests heavily in both its people and its technology.

We're looking for a commercially astute, technically minded Business Development Manager to spearhead new business development across the UK.

This is a true hunter role.

You'll identify new opportunities, target key industrial manufacturers, OEMs, systems integrators and engineering businesses, building relationships from the very first conversation through to securing new business.

You'll enjoy the freedom to develop your own sales strategy, create your own pipeline and directly influence the future growth of the business.

If you're motivated by winning rather than simply maintaining accounts, you'll thrive here.

• Identifying, targeting and securing new business opportunities across the UK
• Developing relationships with industrial manufacturers, automation specialists and engineering companies
• Selling Pepperl+Fuchs' industry-leading portfolio of industrial sensors, automation and safety solutions
• Delivering technical presentations and product demonstrations
• Building and managing a healthy pipeline of qualified opportunities
• Working closely with internal technical specialists and Area Sales Managers to maximise opportunities
• Using CRM, market intelligence and AI-powered sales tools to drive commercial success
• Representing Pepperl+Fuchs at exhibitions, industry events and customer meetings

We're interested in ambitious sales professionals who are passionate about winning.

You will ideally have:

• A successful track record in business development or technical field sales
• Experience selling into industrial manufacturing, factory automation, engineering or process industries
• A genuine hunter mentality with a passion for generating and converting new business
• Strong commercial awareness and excellent relationship-building skills
• A technical aptitude with the ability to communicate engineering solutions confidently
• Knowledge of industrial sensors, automation, controls, instrumentation or industrial electronics would be highly advantageous
• The drive, resilience and determination to consistently exceed targets

Most importantly, we're looking for someone with energy, ambition and the desire to build a long-term career with an industry leader.

When you join Pepperl+Fuchs, you're representing one of the most respected names in industrial automation.

In return, you'll benefit from:

• An established global brand with an outstanding reputation
• Industry-leading products and innovative technology
• Comprehensive product and technical training
• Ongoing coaching and professional development
• AI-powered sales tools to enhance your productivity
• Support from experienced technical specialists
• Clear opportunities for career progression within an international organisation
