This is a rare opportunity to become part of a globally recognised organisation that invests heavily in both its people and its technology.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a commercially astute, technically minded Area Sales Manager to spearhead new business development and account management in the Midlands region.

You'll identify new opportunities, target key industrial manufacturers, OEMs, systems integrators and engineering businesses, building relationships from the very first conversation through to securing new business and growing existing accounts.

You'll enjoy the freedom to develop your own sales strategy, create your own pipeline and directly influence the future growth of the business.

If you're motivated by winning rather than simply maintaining accounts, you'll thrive here.

Developing relationships with industrial manufacturers, automation specialists and engineering companies
Selling Pepperl+Fuchs' industry-leading portfolio of industrial sensors, automation and safety solutions
Delivering technical presentations and product demonstrations

Working closely with internal technical specialists and Business Development managers to maximise opportunities
Using CRM, market intelligence and AI-powered sales tools to drive commercial success
Representing Pepperl+Fuchs at exhibitions, industry events and customer meetings

Who We're Looking For

We're interested in ambitious sales professionals who are passionate about winning.

You will ideally have:

A successful track record in business development or technical field sales
Experience selling into industrial manufacturing, factory automation, engineering or process industries
A genuine hunter mentality with a passion for generating and converting new business
Strong commercial awareness and excellent relationship-building skills
A technical aptitude with the ability to communicate engineering solutions confidently
Knowledge of industrial sensors, automation, controls, instrumentation or industrial electronics would be highly advantageous
The drive, resilience and determination to consistently exceed targets

Most importantly, we're looking for someone with energy, ambition and the desire to build a long-term career with an industry leader.

In return, you'll benefit from:

An established global brand with an outstanding reputation
Industry-leading products and innovative technology
Comprehensive product and technical training
Ongoing coaching and professional development
AI-powered sales tools to enhance your productivity
Support from experienced technical specialists
Clear opportunities for career progression within an international organisation

Whatever your ambition, Pepperl+Fuchs will provide the platform to achieve your goals.

Competitive basic salary
Exceptional uncapped bonus potential
Hunting incentives and performance bonuses
Company car or car allowance
Private healthcare
8% pension contribution
Life assurance
26 days holiday plus bank holidays
Comprehensive training and ongoing career development

Build Your Future with Pepperl+Fuchs

This is far more than another field sales role.

It's an opportunity to represent world-class industrial technology, work with some of the UK's leading manufacturers, build new markets and accelerate your career with one of the most respected names in automation.

If you're ambitious, technically minded, commercially driven and passionate about winning new business, we'd love to hear from you.
