Job Description

Are you a commercially strong and technically credible HVAC sales professional with a proven ability to generate new business, influence specification and convert complex opportunities into profitable turnover? We are partnered with a highly respected and award-winning UK HVAC solutions business with an outstanding reputation for delivering high-end, technically led heating, cooling and ventilation solutions across the built environment. My client is recognised for its consultative and engineering-led approach to market, offering a broad and high-quality portfolio including chillers, air handling units, heat pumps, comfort cooling and other energy efficient HVAC solutions, supported by strong internal technical, estimating, design and engineering capability. This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious and well-established business in a key regional sales role across the North West, taking ownership of a strategically important territory with genuine scope to develop both new and existing relationships across consultants, contractors, FM providers, end users and wider building services stakeholders. This is not a passive account management role. It is a commercially focused, technically led sales position requiring someone who can create demand, build market presence, influence projects early, manage the sales process with confidence and convert opportunities into profitable business. For the right person, this role offers autonomy, visibility, strong internal support and long-term career potential within a highly credible HVAC business. The Company My client is a successful and well-regarded UK HVAC turnkey solutions provider, offering both high-quality products and associated service support with a strong track record, premium technical offering and an enviable market reputation built through professionalism, delivery and engineering expertise. The business supports clients with both off-the-shelf and bespoke applied HVAC solutions and has built lasting relationships across the commercial, industrial and specialist built environment sectors. Their commitment to product quality, project support and customer service has positioned them as a trusted partner within the HVAC and building services market. My client also places real emphasis on the development of its people, offering a strong platform for progression, responsibility and long-term success. The Opportunity Due to continued growth, market expansion and ongoing project success, my client is looking to appoint a high calibre Regional Sales Engineer to drive commercial activity across the North West. Operating in a hybrid capacity across the Central Manchester office, the field and from home as appropriate, you will take responsibility for promoting my client’s HVAC product and service offering in a complete turnkey solutions sales capacity. You will be expected to identify opportunities, open doors, develop relationships, influence specifications, support solution development and manage opportunities from initial enquiry through to final negotiation and order placement. You will be backed by an experienced internal team across estimating, design and engineering, but this role requires someone who is comfortable taking ownership of their territory, leading conversations in the market and creating momentum commercially.

The Role

This is a field-based regional sales role focused on business development, technical solution sales and commercial growth across the North West UK. You will be responsible for promoting my client’s full portfolio of applied and bespoke HVAC solutions, along with associated service offerings, across consultant/specifier, contractor, FM, end user and wider building services routes to market. The position will involve a mix of developing new customers and maintaining existing relationships, although the initial emphasis is expected to be weighted more heavily towards new business generation and market development. You will be expected to operate in a proactive, consultative and commercially disciplined manner, managing the full sales process from market engagement and lead generation through to quotation, negotiation and order conversion.

You may already be operating in a Regional Sales Engineer, internal sales, technical sales support or applications-based commercial role within HVAC or be in a similar technically led sales environment and ready to step into a broader territory position with greater ownership and visibility. You will be comfortable engaging with consultants, contractors, FM businesses, end users and wider building services stakeholders, and you will know how to navigate specification, technical discussion and commercial negotiation with confidence. You are not someone who waits for opportunities to arrive. You are proactive, organised and commercially sharp, with the drive to open doors, create traction and move projects forward.
