Full Time | Permanent | Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm
Are you an experienced electrical sales professional looking for an opportunity to make a real impact on the growth of a business? Perhaps you've built up strong industry knowledge and customer relationships over the years, but feel there's limited scope to progress or put your own ideas into practice?
We're working with an established and successful technical distributor in Aldershot that is looking to develop its industrial electrical and automation offering. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with the right experience, contacts and commercial drive to take ownership of a growing area of the business and play a key role in shaping its future.
Rather than stepping into a traditional internal sales position, you'll have the freedom to use your knowledge, develop customer relationships and influence how this part of the business grows, with the backing of an established team and an excellent annual profit share scheme.
About the Business
Our client is a well-established technical distributor specialising in building controls, HVAC and mechanical products, supplying customers across a range of commercial and industrial applications. The business has enjoyed sustained growth and has developed a strong reputation for its technical expertise, customer service and long-standing industry relationships.
Having identified a significant opportunity to expand its industrial electrical and automation offering, the business is now looking to appoint an experienced individual who can help establish and develop this area alongside its existing operations. With an established customer base, strong supplier relationships and the support of a successful wider group, this represents an opportunity to develop something meaningful within a stable and growing business.
The Role
As Internal Technical Sales, you'll take a leading role in developing the business's industrial electrical and automation offering, with a particular focus on switchgear, control panel components and associated products.

About You
We're looking for someone with a strong background in industrial electrical distribution or automation sales who has the technical knowledge, customer relationships and commercial ability to make a genuine contribution from the outset.
You may currently be working in internal sales or perhaps in an external sales position and looking to return to a more office-based role. The most important factor is your ability to develop business, build relationships and take the initiative in an environment where you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference.
Ideally, you'll bring:
We're particularly interested in speaking with experienced sales professionals who have developed a strong reputation and customer following and would welcome the opportunity to put their knowledge and relationships to greater use.
What's on Offer
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys the commercial side of technical sales and wants more than simply managing an existing order book. If you've developed a strong network within industrial electrical distribution and would welcome the opportunity to use your experience to help grow a business, we'd be keen to hear from you.
