Regional Sales Manager – South Coast Territory – Mechanical Engineering Services
A new opportunity has arisen for an experienced Regional Sales Manager to take ownership of the South Coast territory, including London, within a growing mechanical engineering services business. This role reports directly to the UK Sales Manager and is focused on driving revenue growth through a blend of new business development, engineered solutions selling and long‑term account management.
Ideally, you’ll be based in Hampshire to sit centrally within the territory, but we’re open to strong applicants based anywhere along the South Coast who have a proven track record of successfully developing industrial markets. What matters most is your ability to build relationships, understand complex mechanical environments and deliver commercial results with consistency.
You’ll be responsible for developing a strong and sustainable pipeline, converting opportunities into long‑term partnerships and increasing market share across a range of industrial sectors. With an annual revenue target of around £1m, we’re looking for someone who has consistently delivered against commercial goals and understands how to grow a territory with intent, structure and genuine customer engagement.
Around 40% of the role will focus on managing and developing existing accounts, ensuring customers receive a high level of service while identifying opportunities to expand revenue through engineered upgrades, planned maintenance support and the supply of mechanical components. The remainder will centre on securing new business, developing a territory plan aligned with wider commercial objectives and promoting a broad portfolio of mechanical engineering services, site support and technical solutions.
The customer base spans sectors such as Energy from Waste, aggregates, recycling, food and beverage, fabrication and wider heavy industry. Experience selling into industrial environments will be highly advantageous, particularly if you’ve worked with mechanical power transmission, conveyor systems, rotating equipment or engineered assemblies. Familiarity with the products, customer base and buying behaviours in this space will allow you to make an immediate impact and build credibility quickly.
A strong track record of client retention is essential. This role requires someone who genuinely invests in long‑term relationships, spends time on site with their customers and understands the commercial value of consistency, trust and ongoing engagement. Keeping clients close — not just winning them — is a key part of the brief.
Success in this role requires strong negotiation skills, confidence presenting to senior stakeholders and the ability to interpret technical requirements when working with engineered components and site‑based services. Experience in solution‑based selling, territory planning and pipeline generation is important, along with a background in field‑based sales. Candidates from industrial distribution, engineering services or similar product areas will also be considered.
A relevant technical or commercial qualification would be beneficial, and a full UK driving licence is required. This description outlines the core responsibilities of the role but may evolve in line with business needs.
You will be rewarded with an excellent starting salary, a company car or car allowance, a commission and bonus scheme and additional benefits. The business has also recently reviewed its internal structure to map out clear progression pathways — something many companies overlook.
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you’ve been looking for, apply now or risk missing out.
To discuss the position in more detail, you can contact Andrew Welsh, Director at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240. You can also submit your CV and a member of the team will be in touch to talk through next steps.....Read more...
