Our client employs around 1000 people worldwide. They offer an excellent starting salary and benefits, plus you will embark on a full training programme.
They are the world?s leading supplier of analytical instrumentation and software for X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF).
This role is a consultative business development role. Essentially you are advising on and providing private companies and academic institutions with analytical instruments, focusing mainly on instruments within Elemental Analysis or X-Ray diffraction.
This will be a field-based role where you will be working from home or meeting new or existing clients at their site. The territory where they are looking to hire covers the Midlands, down to the South West and even Wales. This territory is currently worth around £1-1.2m in sales revenue.
The salary starts at around £27k and will be reviewed at six months. We are looking at either those who are 'fresh' graduates or those with industry experience. For those with experience the basic salary may be negotiable. On top of the basic salary there is a company car (ranging from a Ford Focus to an Audi), phone, laptop and ability to earn 25% of the basic salary as a bonus. The training process will be very thorough and it will be at least 6-9 months before the candidate is expected to be pitching to clients without the aid of the sales manager.
Requirements:
- Must have obtained or be on course for a 2.1 in Chemistry, Materials Sciences, Geology, Mineralogy or Physics, or any other science-based subject which covers Elemental Analysis or X-ray Diffraction
- Must have knowledge of or experience working with X-Ray diffraction
- Must have a full UK driving licence
- Happy to work from home for a significant part of the working week
- Must be willing to live in the West Midlands, with close links to the motorway network
- Given the target audience we are being asked to find a candidate who has a consultative style of communicating. Essentially you need to be able to explain the scientific processes behind the instruments.
