Type: Permanent
Overview
I’m working with an established UK construction company that provides full turnkey design, build, and installation services for warehouses and industrial spaces. Their expertise includes mezzanine floors, pallet racking, long span shelving, office and industrial interior solutions, steel and mesh partitions, workbenches, conveyor systems, and other handling equipment.
Following sustained growth and increasing demand for automation projects, they are now looking to appoint a Technical Sales Manager to build, lead, and grow their automation solutions division.

They also have significant experience managing automation projects—often acting as Principal Contractor—and have partnered with major automation providers including Knapp, Vanderlande, PSB, Dematic, Gebhardt, DFT, and Geek+.
This is a strategic role suited to someone ambitious, commercially sharp, and passionate about developing automation offerings from the ground up. If you’re motivated by the opportunity to shape a new department and ultimately step into senior leadership, this is a rare opportunity.
For the right individual, there is a clear long-term pathway into Director-level leadership, ultimately heading the automation department and influencing wider company strategy.
