What You Will Need to Apply:
To be considered for this opportunity, you will ideally have previous experience in a Sales Engineer, Technical Sales, Business Development, Account Management, or similar customer-facing commercial role, preferably gained within the HVAC, refrigeration, process cooling, engineering, or a related technical industry.
An engineering qualification or relevant practical engineering experience would be advantageous, together with the ability to understand technical products and translate customer requirements into appropriate solutions.

You will be commercially driven and proactive, with strong negotiation and problem-solving skills and the ability to identify opportunities and take them through to completion.
You should also be confident using CRM systems and Microsoft Office, with strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple opportunities and priorities effectively.
