SALES ENGINEER / BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT (HEIGHT SAFETY SOLUTIONS)

A Sales Engineer / Sales Executive is needed to join Mantech Safety Systems, a growing specialist in fall protection and height safety solutions. Based in Bridgwater, Somerset, this is a rewarding opportunity (£62k Y1 OTE with uncapped commission) for a sales professional from a construction, engineering or technical products background to drive new business, develop customer relationships and play a key role in the company's continued growth.

Mantech provides specialist fall protection solutions, including the supply, installation, inspection and maintenance of safety systems across commercial and industrial environments. A small, close knit business with ambitious expansion plans, Mantech is looking for someone commercially driven, technically confident and ready to make a real impact.

As a Sales Engineer, you'll take ownership of sales opportunities from initial enquiry through to quotation and conversion. You'll develop new business, follow up existing project enquiries, build relationships with contractors and end users, and identify opportunities to grow key accounts. You'll also attend customer sites, assess requirements, interpret technical drawings and prepare accurate quotations for tailored safety solutions.

Working closely with the General Manager, you'll contribute ideas, identify new markets and help shape the company's sales growth. This is a varied role combining office based sales activity with customer meetings and site visits, offering genuine autonomy and the opportunity to influence business performance.

We're particularly interested in sales professionals who understand technical products or project based solutions. You might come from construction products, roofing, access systems, structural steelwork, building services, architectural products or a similar engineering environment. Direct fall protection experience is not essential. What matters is your ability to understand technical requirements, communicate confidently with customers and turn opportunities into sales.

To qualify: You should be a Sales Engineer, Sales Executive, Business Development Manager, Sales Estimator or similar with a CV that demonstrates:

• Proven B2B sales experience within construction, engineering, building products or a related technical sector
• Confidence interpreting technical drawings, specifications and customer requirements
• Experience preparing quotations, managing enquiries and converting opportunities into sales
• A proactive approach to generating new business and developing existing accounts
• Strong communication, negotiation and relationship building skills
• Commercial awareness, organisation and the ability to manage your own sales pipeline
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel for customer meetings and site surveys

Experience with fall protection, height safety systems, AutoCAD or technical site surveys would be advantageous, but is not essential. You will need to be comfortable visiting construction and industrial sites, including working at height where required.

In return, you'll receive a basic salary of £42,500 plus uncapped sales commission (Y1 OTE £62k), alongside the opportunity to join a growing specialist business where your contribution will be recognised. Expect a varied sales role, direct access to decision makers and the chance to develop your career as Mantech continues to expand.
