Technical Area Sales Manager – Drainage

Role

You will be responsible for driving the sales of a comprehensive range of cast iron drainage solutions, covering both above and below-ground applications.

The role is split across three key areas of responsibility. Approximately 40% of your time will be spent securing product specifications with M&E consultants, ensuring the company’s drainage systems are specified on major construction projects. A further 40% will involve working with M&E contractors and groundworkers to convert specifications into orders. The remaining 20% of your time will be focused on supporting and developing business through key distribution partners, ensuring specifications are converted into product sales.

You will work closely with consultants, contractors, groundworkers and merchant partners throughout the project lifecycle, building long-term relationships and identifying opportunities to grow market share across the territory.

The territory covers East London, South Essex, Kent and East Sussex.
