UK Sales Manager – Engineering & Manufacturing
StockTech Engineering
UK Based | Full Time | Salary + Commission
The Opportunity
StockTech Engineering is looking for an experienced and commercially driven UK Sales Manager to develop a new customer base across the UK manufacturing and engineering sectors.
StockTech provides cost-effective manufacturing solutions from India, supported by an established UK engineering group.
We are looking to work directly with UK manufacturers and OEMs who build finished products — from agricultural and construction machinery to specialist vehicles, trailers, groundcare equipment and industrial machinery.
The opportunity is simple: identify repeat-production components currently being purchased by UK manufacturers and demonstrate where StockTech can offer a competitive alternative through our Indian manufacturing and supply network.
Typical components may include:
- Welded and fabricated assemblies
- CNC machined components
- Cast components
- Rubber and moulded components
- Laser-cut and folded parts
- Pins, bushes, shafts and brackets
- Other repetitive engineered components and assemblies
This is not a traditional subcontract engineering sales role. We want someone capable of identifying opportunities within OEM supply chains and developing long-term relationships with UK manufacturers.
The Role
You will be responsible for developing StockTech’s UK customer base from the ground up.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Identifying suitable UK manufacturers and OEMs.
- Approaching Purchasing Managers, Procurement Directors, Engineering Managers and business owners.
- Visiting prospective customers throughout the UK.
- Understanding their existing component supply requirements.
- Identifying components suitable for manufacture in India.
- Obtaining drawings, specifications and sample components for quotation.
- Working with our UK and Indian engineering teams to prepare quotations.
- Presenting cost-saving opportunities to customers.
- Developing initial enquiries into repeat-production business.
- Building strong, long-term customer relationships.
- Managing opportunities from initial contact through to production supply.
The objective isn’t simply to sell on price. We want to offer UK manufacturers a reliable route to reduce manufacturing costs without having to establish and manage their own Indian supply chain.
Who We’re Looking For
Ideally, you will already have experience selling into UK engineering, manufacturing or OEM businesses.
Experience within any of the following would be particularly relevant:
- Agricultural machinery
- Construction equipment
- Specialist vehicles
- Automotive/HGV
- Groundcare machinery
- Trailers
- Recycling equipment
- Hydraulics
- Fabrication
- CNC machining
- Castings
- Engineered components
You should be comfortable opening doors and generating your own opportunities rather than relying solely on incoming enquiries.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone commercially minded who can walk around a customer’s product or factory and recognise where there may be an opportunity for StockTech to reduce their component costs.
What We Offer
- Competitive basic salary, dependent on experience.
- Uncapped commission/bonus opportunity.
- Company vehicle or allowance.
- UK-based role with customer travel.
- Support from established UK engineering businesses.
- Direct access to our engineering and manufacturing operation in India.
- Genuine opportunity to build and lead a new UK sales operation as the business grows.
- £35,000 basic + company car + uncapped commission (2% of new net sales revenue). for the first 24 months of a new account.
This is an opportunity for the right person to take ownership of a developing business area rather than simply inherit an existing sales territory.
If you have experience selling engineered components or manufacturing solutions into UK OEMs and believe you can develop a strong customer base for StockTech, we’d like to hear from you.
Pay: £35,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Company car
- Company events
- Company pension
