Area Sales Manager – Valves & Flow Control Solutions
Location: UK-wide (Home-based)
Salary: £50,000 – £65,000 OTE + Car/Car Allowance + Expenses + Pension + 22 Days Holiday + BH
Industry: Engineering – Valves, Steam Systems, and Process Control
Reference: BP 213
About the Business
With over 15 years of success in delivering valve and flow control solutions, the business is now scaling up—backed by investment and outperforming its financial targets by over 40%. As the first external Area Sales Manager, you’ll be at the forefront of this growth, shaping strategy, building relationships, and unlocking new markets.Operating within a specialist group of companies, this engineering firm provides bespoke valve solutions to some of the UK’s most critical sectors. Their product range includes:
Steam traps
Pressure reducing valves
Control valves
Safety valves
Steam meters
These products are essential to energy efficiency, safety, and process control across industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, food production, and power generation.
With a turnover of £5 million and a lean, agile team of 30 professionals, the company is expanding into new sectors including oil & gas and advanced process industries. You’ll be joining a business that values innovation, customer service, and technical excellence.
Your Role as Area Sales Manager
This is a consultative, solution-led sales role where you’ll manage a mix of existing accounts and warm legacy clients, while proactively developing new business across the UK. You’ll be supported by a skilled internal proposals team and technical engineers, allowing you to focus on strategic growth and client engagement.
As Area Sales Manager, you’ll:
Deliver annual sales targets
Manage a portfolio of 30–35 clients and identify new opportunities across industrial hotspots.
Conduct site visits, assess client needs, and deliver tailored valve and steam system solutions.
Collaborate with internal teams and senior leadership to shape strategy and customer experience.
Help build the sales team over time, with potential to step into a leadership role.
What Makes You the Ideal Area Sales Manager
Proven experience in technical sales—ideally in valves, steam systems, or process engineering.
Strong commercial acumen and a consultative approach to selling.
Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
A proactive mindset—part hunter, part farmer—with the drive to build something meaningful.
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel
Why This Area Sales Manager Role Stands Out
✅ First hire in a growing sales team – shape the role and future structure
✅ High-performing business – exceeding margins and expanding into new sectors
✅ Diverse client base – from NHS hospitals to pharmaceutical plants
✅ Supportive leadership – direct access to decision-makers and strategic input
✅ Real progression – opportunity to step into a leadership role as the team grows
