International Technical Sales Executive - Compressed Air / Filtration

Job description

Shrewsbury, Shropshire – Office Based
£40,000 basic + uncapped commission
Permanent

If you have experience selling technical engineering products and like the idea of developing international customers without spending your life on the motorway, this role is worth a look.

*

*

Using phone, email, video calls and digital communication to develop international relationships

This is a proactive sales role.
