We’re looking for a driven and relationship-focused Key Account Manager to manage and grow a portfolio of customers across the UK, Ireland, and Scandinavia.

In this role, you’ll spend around 80% of your time managing and developing existing accounts—ensuring customers continue to rely on you for their spares and aftermarket needs. The remaining 20% will focus on identifying and converting new business opportunities within your territory.

This is a field-based role, with your base in South Yorkshire. You can expect to be on the road 3–4 days per week, working closely with customers on-site.

While the sales process isn’t highly technical, a background in mechanical engineering, metals manufacturing, or a similar field will be a strong advantage. Your customers will include engineering, maintenance, factory, and site managers—so this is a hands-on role where you’ll be comfortable working in practical, industrial environments.
