Sales Manager - Europe

The Role

We're looking for a commercially focused Regional Sales Manager to drive profitable growth across key mining and industrial markets throughout the UK, Spain, Portugal and Poland.

This is a high-impact, customer-facing role responsible for identifying opportunities, developing strategic customer relationships and generating new business across a broad portfolio of engineered products and solutions. While mining represents approximately 70% of the territory focus, the role also supports industrial and metals customers, creating a varied and dynamic commercial environment.

You'll be responsible for opening doors with key stakeholders, identifying opportunities and positioning the wider Baker Hughes, Chart and Howden solutions portfolio. Working closely with product specialists and technical experts, you'll help develop customer requirements into engineered solutions before supporting the sales process through to a successful commercial outcome.

Home, remote working with around 40-50% of your time travelling across the region, meeting customers, supporting commercial opportunities, attending trade shows and working alongside technical specialists in the field.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated sales professional who enjoys autonomy, building customer relationships and operating across multiple markets and industries.
