About the Role

A leading name in the plant hire industry is looking for an experienced and driven Account Manager to join their established sales team. This is a growth-focused role where the right person will play a key part in developing new business across Essex and the A13 corridor, while also managing existing client relationships.

This opportunity is perfect for someone who thrives in a field-based, site-focused sales role and knows the plant hire industry inside out.


The Role

  • Identify and win new business across construction and infrastructure projects

  • Build lasting relationships with site managers, buyers and project teams

  • Conduct regular site visits – this is not a remote or desk-based role

  • Manage all sales activity using a basic but effective CRM

  • Work closely with depot operations to ensure smooth delivery and customer satisfaction

  • Represent the brand with professionalism and plant hire knowledge


What You’ll Need

  • You must be based in Essex – local knowledge is essential for this patch

  • Solid plant hire experience – you’ll need to talk confidently about diggers, compressors, breakers, and more

  • A proactive, hands-on approach to sales – boots on site, not behind a screen

  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills

  • Self-motivated, organised, and commercially aware

  • Full, clean UK driver’s licence required


The Package

  • Negotiable base salary

  • Annual bonus (guaranteed, performance-linked)

  • Company car, laptop, and CRM access

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
