Northampton | Field-Based UK Role | Industrial and Automotive Aftermarket

Do you enjoy winning projects rather than just chasing orders?

You’ll be responsible for identifying opportunities, developing customer relationships and managing projects through from initial enquiry to completion.

• Building long-term relationships with customers, contractors and key decision-makers
