Job Description

Sales Consultant (Field-Based) 101lw – Scotland & North UK– £40,000-£50,000 + Uncapped Commission

Ideal for Ex-Military / Service Leavers | Engineering & Technical Backgrounds, as well as ex-military professionals with 3-years+ B2B Sales experience - if you’ve worked with tools, equipment, or engineering systems in the Armed Forces, this is a unique opportunity to step into a field-based, client-facing role where your technical knowledge and credibility are highly valued.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EX MILITARY.

This isn’t a typical sales role. It’s about advising engineers, building relationships, and delivering the right solutions - something many ex-military professionals already do every day.

You’ll join a growing, award-winning technical consultancy supplying specialist tooling and equipment to some of the world’s most advanced engineering organisations - across aerospace, defence, automotive, motorsport, and renewable energy (also entering exciting new sectors like solar & renewables)

You’ll take ownership of a well-established territory, working with existing customers and warm leads, helping them select the right tooling solutions for their applications.

For those with no previous B2B sales experience– full training can be provided

Why This Role Works for Ex-Military Candidates

Your experience with equipment, maintenance, or engineering systems directly translates

You’ll be trusted to manage your own area - no micromanagement

Strong emphasis on integrity, accountability, and doing things properly

Opportunity to move from hands-on roles into a commercial, higher-earning career path

Work with industries aligned to your background (defence, aerospace, engineering)

What You’ll Be Doing

Managing and growing a portfolio of existing accounts (majority warm relationships)

Visiting customer sites to understand requirements and recommend solutions

Advising on tooling based on application, performance, and value

Building long-term relationships with engineers, buyers, and technical teams

Developing new business opportunities within your region

Working closely with an internal sales team for quoting and support

Backgrounds that fit well:

REME, Royal Engineers, RAF or Navy engineering trades

Equipment maintenance, tooling, or mechanical/electrical roles

Defence, aerospace, or high-compliance environments

This is a field-based role covering Scotland & North England. 3-4 days per week visiting customers. Home based admin with strong internal support. Occasional overnight stays (fully expensed)

Not sure if this is for you? - if you’ve worked with tools, equipment, or engineering systems in the military, there’s a strong chance your skills are transferable - we’re happy to talk it through.

Please send a copy of your CV with a note outlining why this would be the ideal opportunity for you to Liz Walsh at Ex-Mil Recruitment Ltd
