Technical Sales Manager

Location: Warrington
Job Type: Full-Time
Salary: Competitive, DOE

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a high-impact technical role where you'll be at the centre of delivering refrigeration solutions for real-world customer challenges.

Acting as the bridge between sales, engineering and the customer, you'll take ownership of the technical side of projects. Whether it's a planned project or an urgent breakdown scenario, you'll be the person who quickly understands what's needed and turns that into a practical, workable refrigeration solution.

You'll work closely with the retail sales team, translating conversations into technical designs - advising on the right equipment, reviewing proposed solutions, and ensuring they are both commercially viable and technically sound. At the same time, you'll engage directly with customers, asking the right questions and giving them confidence in the solution.
