Your role

You'll take ownership of sales across your territory, combining new business development with technical consultation and specification-led selling.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Influencing technical specifications: Engaging with customers early in the design process to identify project requirements and recommend the most appropriate pumping station solution.
  • Navigating compliance requirements: Helping customers understand pumping station design, sewer adoption requirements and the implications for Section 104 agreements.
  • Finding the right solution: Understanding each development's technical and commercial needs to ensure the proposed product is suitable, compliant and aligned with the customer's requirements.
  • Developing new business: Building relationships with housebuilders, developers, groundworkers, civil engineering contractors and consultants.
  • Managing the sales process: Taking opportunities from initial enquiry and technical qualification through quotation, negotiation and order.
  • Coordinating with technical specialists: Working closely with internal Technical & Design, Estimating and Operations teams.
  • Growing your territory: Developing key accounts, maintaining a strong sales pipeline and achieving agreed revenue and margin targets.

Requirements

We're looking for someone who can combine commercial awareness with the confidence to engage with technically demanding products and customer requirements.

Ideally, you'll have experience in B2B technical sales, specification sales or technical business development, along with a background in construction, housebuilding, civil engineering, drainage, water, wastewater or a related technical industry.

You don't need to be a pumping station expert from day one. Industry experience is advantageous, but the business is open to candidates with a broader technical sales background who have the aptitude to learn.

Territory and working arrangements

You'll cover London, Kent and East Anglia, spending approximately 2–3 days per week visiting customers. Hybrid working arrangements can be considered for the right candidate.

Training and development

You'll receive structured training across the business's products, technical design, estimating and operations, alongside practical site visits.
