About the role
The Role
Our team is the best in the industry – is it time for you to join us?
GAP Lifting Hire & Sales offers one of the largest ranges of lifting equipment and accessories in the industry. From small shackles and slings to material lifts and aluminium gantries, the division has everything our customers need for lifting any size of load.
Reporting directly to the Head of Lifting, the Sales Rep will be responsible for maximising lifting hire revenue opportunities from existing major account customers and winning new business. This will include delivering sales presentations to our major account customers at a senior management level and attending depot/customer trade days to promote our product offering.
The Sales Rep will also work with various stakeholders across the GAP Group network, including Regional Sales Managers and their sales teams, to ensure proactive promotion of hire opportunities for lifting equipment within their existing customer base.
Please note this position will be covering Scotland, and the ideal candidate would be located between Glasgow & Edinburgh. You will ideally come from a lifting or hoists background, but we are open to seeing candidates from the wider hire industry.
