Area Sales Manager - South of the UK
We are working with an established global manufacturer of power generation and energy solutions to recruit an Area Sales Manager covering the South of the UK.
Applying for this role is straightforward. Scroll down and click on Apply to be considered for this position.
About the Role
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced sales professional to take ownership of a significant territory, developing existing customer relationships while identifying and winning new business across the hire, construction, industrial and associated markets.
The business manufactures a broad range of equipment including mobile and portable generators, commercial and industrial power solutions, lighting towers and battery energy storage systems.
The variety of the product range means one day you could be discussing a fleet of mobile generators and lighting towers with a hire company, the next a larger standby power solution with a commercial customer, portable generators with a dealer or newer battery storage and hybrid power solutions.
Responsibilities
As Area Sales Manager, you will be responsible for developing sales across the South East, London and South West, managing your territory with a high degree of autonomy.
This is a genuinely field-based sales position suited to somebody who enjoys being in front of customers, building relationships and developing opportunities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities Will Include
- Developing and growing existing customer accounts across the territory
- Identifying, targeting and winning new business
- Promoting a broad portfolio of power generation and associated equipment
- Building strong relationships across the hire, construction, dealer and industrial markets
- Taking ownership of regional sales and turnover targets
- Managing negotiations and commercial proposals
- Maintaining and developing a strong sales pipeline
- Forecasting and analysing sales performance
- Monitoring market activity and competitor developments
- Maintaining accurate CRM and sales reporting
About You
We are looking for an experienced and driven sales professional with a strong track record of developing customer relationships and growing revenue.
Previous power generation experience would be advantageous, but it is not essential. We are equally interested in speaking with established sales professionals from the plant hire, tool hire, construction equipment, access, pumps, compressors or wider technical equipment sectors who have the ability and appetite to learn a new product range.
You Will Ideally Demonstrate
- A proven background in field-based B2B sales
- Experience developing both existing accounts and new business
- Strong longevity and a demonstrable track record within previous employers
- Experience selling into hire, construction, industrial or associated markets
- A relationship-led, face-to-face approach to sales
- Strong commercial awareness and experience managing a territory and sales target
- The ability to understand and confidently sell technical products
- A self-motivated approach and the ability to manage a large geographical territory
- Strong communication, negotiation and customer relationship skills
- A full UK driving licence
