We sell to end-users--fabricators, machine shops, maintenance teams--across cutting, grinding, sanding, blasting and welding consumables. You'll own a compact territory with thousands of targets, backed by a technical specialist, next-day delivery, and fast quoting.

What you'll do

Build and grow a B2B field pipeline: 12-15 face-to-face visits/week, quote, close, and onboard new customers. Win trials that prove lower cost-per-cut / faster deposition / longer life--with our Technical Specialist on site when needed. Develop key accounts: multi-site agreements, price files, and usage expansion across workshops and shifts. Own your patch data: clean CRM, rolling 3x pipeline, tidy forecasts, and margin discipline.
What good looks like

Months 1-3: learn the range, book visits, land first 5-10 customers. Months 4-6: regular quoting, trials converting, monthly sales trending 25-30k. Months 7-12: steady 30-40k+/month, repeat orders, stable margins. (That's how the OTE figures above are achieved.)*

You'll need

Proven industrial field sales experience (ideally welding/abrasives or adjacent MRO/engineering supplies). Confident on shop floors and with managers--able to talk processes, parameters, safety and total cost. A hunter's cadence, tidy admin, and a clean UK driving licence.
