Glasgow
Upto £35k basic + uncapped monthly commission (OTE £50k)

Are you looking to build a long-term career in technical sales, rather than just take another entry-level role? This is not a high-volume cold calling role. It is focused on developing quality conversations and long-term commercial relationships.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a growing, international engineering and environmental technology business operating in the water treatment and sustainability sector. The company is experiencing strong demand and is investing heavily in developing the next generation of commercial talent.

You will be joining a supportive, experienced sales team where you will receive structured training, real responsibility early on, and clear progression into a fully-fledged field sales role.

The Role

This is a varied, progressive sales position combining business development, technical learning and client relationship management.

You will be responsible for:

• Generating and qualifying new sales opportunities
• Building relationships with clients across engineering, leisure, local authority and infrastructure sectors
• Mapping target markets and identifying new growth areas
• Learning technical product solutions and supporting customers in decision making
• Visiting client sites across the UK and occasionally Europe
• Supporting commercial discussions including pricing and negotiations
• Managing pipeline activity and reporting sales progress

Package & Benefits

• Basic salary upto £35k
• Uncapped monthly commission (realistic £50k+ first year earnings)
• Commission guarantee during initial onboarding period
• Company car or car allowance — rare at this level
• Employer pension contribution significantly above market average
• Annual company performance bonus
• Full technical and commercial training
• International travel opportunities
• Exposure to major engineering clients and public sector organisations
• Friendly, supportive and ambitious team culture
• Flexible working potential as you become established

About You

We are keen to speak with individuals who are motivated, commercially minded and serious about building a career in sales.

You will ideally have:

• Some experience in a sales, customer facing or commercial role
• Strong communication skills and confidence building relationships
• Drive, resilience and a proactive attitude
• Full UK driving licence
• Willingness to travel for client meetings

Technical or engineering exposure would be beneficial but full training will be provided.

Additional languages or experience within leisure, engineering services or water-related sectors would be advantageous.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a high-growth sector linked to sustainability and environmental innovation, where you can develop specialist knowledge and genuine long-term earning potential.

If you are looking for a role where effort is recognised, progression is real, and international exposure is possible early in your career, this position offers a clear platform to succeed.
