National Sales Manager - Water Treatment
Home Based | UK Wide | £58,000 - £63,000 + Competitive Commission + Company Car/Allowance + Excellent Benefits
There comes a point in every sales career when the question changes.
It stops being...
"Can I sell?"
...and becomes...
"Am I representing a business capable of delivering what I'm promising?"
If you're already selling into the UK water industry, you'll understand exactly what that means.
Relationships have taken years to build. Frameworks are fiercely competitive. Trust is everything.
When you put your name to a solution, your reputation goes with it.
That's why this opportunity is different.
Our client has built an outstanding reputation for designing, manufacturing and installing high-quality engineered water and wastewater treatment solutions for many of the UK's leading water utilities and Tier One contractors.
Their engineers solve complex problems.
Their projects deliver.
Their customers return.
Now, with AMP8 creating significant long-term opportunities across the UK, they're looking for an experienced National Sales Manager to help drive the next stage of their growth.
This isn't simply another sales role.
It's an opportunity to become the recognised commercial face of a respected engineering business operating at the heart of one of the UK's most important infrastructure sectors.
You'll develop new business across the UK while strengthening relationships with existing utility clients and major contractors.
Working alongside experienced engineering, estimating and project delivery teams, you'll have the technical support needed to win complex projects and build long-term partnerships—not simply chase quotations.
You'll engage directly with decision-makers across UK Water Companies and Tier One and Tier Two contractors, identifying opportunities within AMP8 frameworks and converting them into profitable business.
We're looking for someone who already understands this market.
Someone who can walk into a meeting with a Project Manager, Framework Manager or Procurement Lead and immediately speak their language.
You'll already have experience selling engineered solutions within the UK water or wastewater sector and possess an established network of industry contacts.
Just as importantly, you'll enjoy developing relationships, identifying opportunities and helping clients solve technically demanding challenges rather than simply selling products.
If you've worked with pumping stations, water treatment equipment, wastewater infrastructure or similar engineered systems, we'd like to hear from you.
In return you'll receive:
- Competitive basic salary of £58,000 - £63,000
- Uncapped commission structure rewarding success
- Company car or car allowance
- Contributory pension
- Healthcare
- Death in Service cover
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service
- The freedom to manage your own diary and customer base
- The support of an experienced engineering and bid team behind every opportunity
- A genuine opportunity to influence the future growth of a respected engineering business during AMP8
This role would particularly suit someone who...
- Has a successful background selling into UK Water Utilities or Tier One contractors.
- Understands AMP8 and how framework agreements generate long-term business.
- Enjoys developing strategic customer relationships rather than transactional sales.
- Wants the autonomy to make commercial decisions.
- Is looking to represent a business with an excellent engineering reputation and ambitious plans for growth.
If you're ready to take ownership of a national territory and play a leading role in the continued growth of a highly respected engineering company, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
