Account Manager - Industrial Automation & Motor Control

Not every sales role is about chasing cold leads.

Some are about understanding your customers, supporting their applications, and helping them get the best out of the technology they already rely on.

This role sits firmly in that space.

We are looking for an Account Manager to join a well-established manufacturer of industrial motor control and variable speed drive technology. Their products are used globally across manufacturing, automation, energy efficiency and industrial equipment.

If you currently work within industrial automation, electrical engineering, motion control, motors, PLC systems or similar technical sectors, this could be a strong fit.

You do not need to be a drives specialist, but you should be comfortable working with technical products and speaking with engineers and technically minded customers.

The role will focus mainly on managing and developing existing customer accounts, supporting distributors and industrial customers, while identifying opportunities to grow revenue across the product range.

The position is office-based in Welshpool, with customer visits where required.

What You'll Be Doing

Managing and developing relationships with existing customers and distribution partners

Supporting customers with technical and commercial discussions around motor control and drive solutions

Identifying opportunities to increase revenue within established accounts

Preparing quotations, proposals and commercial offers

Working closely with internal technical and product teams to support customer requirements

Visiting customers when required to support account development

Maintaining CRM records and producing regular sales updates

This role is less about aggressive new business and more about building long-term relationships with customers who already use the technology.

What Were Looking For

Experience in an account management or technical sales role

Background within industrial equipment, automation, electrical engineering or similar sectors

Comfortable speaking with engineers and technically minded customers

Strong relationship building and commercial awareness

Organised and able to manage multiple customer accounts

Candidates may currently be working as:

Account Managers within industrial or technical sectors

Technical Sales Engineers

Internal Sales Engineers looking to become more customer-facing

Automation or electrical product specialists with commercial responsibilities

The Opportunity

This role would suit someone who enjoys the commercial side of engineering, but still wants to stay close to the technical detail and customer applications.

You will be joining a growing global manufacturer with strong engineering capability, established customers and long-term opportunities within the business.
