Technical Sales Manager - Truck body manufacturer

Full-time

ESG Recruitment

HIGHLY SPECIALIZED ROLE WITHIN THE TRUCK BODY MANUFACTURING & HYDRAULICS SECTOR
Non-Negotiable Requirements:

  • Proven sales experience specifically within:
    • Truck body manufacturing
    • Commercial vehicles
    • Hydraulics (Knowledge on hydraulic systems will be massively beneficial, but not as essential as strong truck body expertise)
  • Strong working knowledge of:
    • Tipper bodies (rear & side)
    • Flat decks and drop-side bodies
    • Curtain side/tautliner bodies
    • Fuel and water tankers
    • Rollback/recovery bodies
    • Crane truck bodies
    • Axle configurations and weight distribution
    • Hydraulic systems and components (Knowledge on hydraulic systems will be massively beneficial, but not as essential as strong truck body expertise)
This is not a general sales role. The candidate must be technically competent and able to consult with clients on fit-for-purpose truck body solutions.

Role Overview:
  • Drive new business development within the commercial vehicle sector
  • Proactively secure new dealership relationships
  • Conduct both technical and commercial consultations with clients to ensure fit-for-purpose solutions
  • Prepare accurate, technically sound quotations and proposals
  • Liaise closely with the workshop and production team to confirm specifications, feasibility, and scheduling
  • Coordinate with production regarding workshop capacity and job timelines
  • Communicate confirmed delivery dates to clients and manage expectations accordingly
  • Maintain continuous client communication throughout the build process
  • Provide after-sales follow-up to ensure customer satisfaction
  • Build and maintain strong, long-term client relationships
  • Achieve agreed sales targets and contribute to overall business growth
  Ideal candidate: someone confident, technically articulate, and commercially driven — ideally with an existing network within transport, construction, mining, or logistics industries.
