£33,000–£35,000 Basic (DOE) + £50,000 OTE + Uncapped Commission + Car / Car Allowance
The Opportunity
We are working with a global manufacturer and leading name within the Material Handling industry who are looking to add a Sales Executive to their UK sales team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys getting out in front of customers, developing new relationships and turning opportunities into long-term business.
You’ll have responsibility for your own geographical area, identifying prospective customers and working with them to understand their operation, challenges and future requirements. Rather than simply selling a product, you’ll be able to offer a range of solutions covering equipment, finance and ongoing support.
The business offers an established product range, excellent support and a structured development programme, making this a great opportunity for someone who wants to build a long-term career in sales.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Developing new business within your territory
- Identifying and approaching prospective customers
- Building your own pipeline of sales opportunities
- Meeting customers on-site to understand their operational requirements

- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Confidence dealing with customers at different levels
- Good negotiation and commercial skills
- The ability to organise and manage your own territory
- A proactive and self-motivated approach
- Confidence using CRM systems and Microsoft Office
Experience within Forklifts, Material Handling, Construction Equipment, Industrial Equipment or a similar environment would be beneficial, but isn't essential.
We're also interested in speaking with successful salespeople from other industries who have the drive, attitude and ability to develop new business.

- £33,000–£35,000 basic salary depending on experience
- £50,000 OTE
- Uncapped commission
- Company car / car allowance
- Structured career progression
- Ongoing sales and product training
