About the Role

Area Sales Manager

Technical Sales | OEM Manufacturing

Oxfordshire / Buckinghamshire / Bedfordshire / Northamptonshire

£45,000-£50,000 basic + Company Car + Monthly Commission + End of Year Bonus

Are you a technically minded sales professional who enjoys developing long-term customer relationships and working on complex engineering projects?

I'm recruiting for an exciting Area Sales Manager opportunity with a global engineering manufacturer looking to strengthen its South Midlands team.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys consultative technical sales and is comfortable working with engineers, technical teams and procurement professionals to develop projects from concept through to production.

About the Company

Our client is a global manufacturer supplying high-quality components into OEMs across a broad range of industries including medical, defence, industrial automation, transportation and consumer technology.

With significant investment in product development, strong distributor partnerships and an excellent reputation for engineering support, they offer a genuine long-term career opportunity within a growing business.

The Role

You'll inherit an established territory whilst identifying new opportunities with OEMs and

manufacturing customers across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire.

Working closely with design engineers, purchasing teams and technical stakeholders, you'll develop projects from initial concept through specification and ultimately into production.

This is a consultative, project-led sales role with a strong mix of new business development and account growth.

Key Responsibilities

Manage and grow an established portfolio of existing accounts
Develop new business opportunities across OEM and manufacturing customers
Engage with design engineers, technical teams and procurement professionals to identify project opportunities
Promote technically engineered solutions through a consultative sales approach
Support customers throughout long sales cycles, from design through to production
Build long-term relationships that generate repeat business and future specifications
Work closely with distribution partners and internal technical teams to deliver outstanding customer support

About You

We're open to candidates from a broad range of technical sales backgrounds.

Examples of what you may currently be selling:

Engineered components
Plastic injection moulding
Technical manufacturing solutions
Industrial automation
Sensors
Connectors
Control equipment
Electrical products
Motion control
Power supplies
Industrial equipment
Capital equipment
Mechanical or electromechanical products
Any other technical product

Most importantly, you'll have experience selling into OEMs or manufacturing businesses, be comfortable discussing technical applications with engineers, and enjoy developing long-term project opportunities rather than purely transactional sales.

What's on Offer?

£45,000-£50,000 basic salary
Company car
Guaranteed £6,000 commission during your first six months whilst you build up your pipeline
Monthly commission structure
End-of-year company bonus
Health insurance
Established territory with existing customer relationships
High-quality engineering products with genuine technical differentiation
Supportive management team with realistic expectations
Excellent long-term career progression within an international manufacturer

If you're currently working in technical sales and enjoy selling engineered solutions into OEMs or manufacturing environments, I'd be keen to arrange a confidential conversation.
