We are an industry leader in the design, deployment and support of custom recycling equipment, including shredders, presses, conveying and sorting systems, and our clients include some of the largest manufacturers and processors in the UK.

We are looking for a field sales representative, located in the Yorkshire area, to combine technical knowledge with sales skills. The balance depends on the level of technical knowledge and understanding we believe they need to sell the products we offer and to respond to clients’ queries.

If you have previous sales experience with recycling or industrial equipment, we encourage you to apply for this position.

The sales representative’s day-to-day tasks are not limited to, but include:

• Providing pre-sales technical assistance and product education.
• Liaising regularly with other team members.
• Helping in the design of custom-made products.
• Providing training and producing support material for other members of the sales team.

The hours are full-time, with the requirement to work flexibly to account for irregular hours, such as travelling. Based at your home office, the hours will be split between remote working and visiting clients.
