Area Sales Manager – UK & Ireland
Solar Mounting Systems | Remote | £80,000 + Company Car
We're working exclusively with a leading European solar mounting systems manufacturer as they build out their UK & Ireland presence — and this is the role that will drive that expansion.
This isn't a "maintain the territory" position. You'll be walking into a genuine ground-floor opportunity: owning the strategy, building the customer base, and shaping the growth story for a business that's serious about winning in the UK solar market, right as the sector heads into its biggest growth period in years.
The Role
As Area Sales Manager, you'll take ownership of the UK & Ireland customer base — building strong relationships with existing clients while driving new business across Distribution, Panel Builders, and Contractors. You'll have real autonomy in how you run your territory, backed by a market-leading product portfolio and the freedom to bring your own network, ideas, and approach.

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.

- Provide accurate rolling forecasts and maintain a dynamic short-, medium-, and long-term pipeline
- Champion end-to-end solutions that improve win rates and shorten sales cycles

What You'll Bring
- A proven track record as a high-performing sales professional in a results-driven environment
- Strong influencing, persuasion, and negotiation skills
