UK Sales Manager - Industry - Full Time - Birmingham, United Kingdom

Sulzer is a leading engineering company with a proud heritage of innovation. Join our global team to grow your expertise and develop innovative solutions that enable a prosperous and more sustainable society.

Sulzer is a renowned leader in fluid engineering, with a proud legacy of over 180 years delivering excellence in pumps, agitators, compressors, and rotating equipment across diverse industries. Within this, our Water & Industry division is powering ahead – expanding rapidly across the UK as we support critical infrastructure, manufacturing, food & beverage, paper, chemical, and industrial wastewater treatment sectors.

We are now seeking a strategic, technically credible, and commercially sharp UK Sales Manager to lead our national sales team across all product and service lines in the non-utilities market. Your deep understanding of industrial wastewater treatment processes, equipment, and compliance requirements – including technologies such as SAFF (Surface Active Foam Fractionation) and DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) – will be key in driving growth, building trusted relationships, and delivering engineered solutions that solve real-world water challenges for our customers.

This position is central to our growth journey. You’ll shape and execute the commercial strategy, manage key customer relationships, coach and develop a high-performing team, and open new revenue streams by promoting tailored rotating equipment services and engineered solutions for industrial water and wastewater applications.

Main Tasks And Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop a national sales team across the UK industrial segment (excluding utilities).
  • Define and deliver growth strategies to exceed OI and margin targets.
  • Build scalable, profitable partnerships with industrial customers, especially those in water-intensive sectors.
  • Leverage your knowledge of industrial wastewater treatment technologies – including SAFF, DAF, process optimisation, solids handling, and regulatory compliance – to position Sulzer as a trusted partner.
  • Collaborate closely with operations, product managers, and service teams to deliver tailored solutions.
  • Drive the introduction of long-term service agreements and other commercial initiatives.
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and customer needs (VOC) to inform pricing, positioning, and service innovation.

To succeed in this role, you will need

  • Extensive experience in the industrial market with a strong technical understanding of wastewater treatment processes, particularly SAFF and DAF systems.
  • Knowledge of pumps or rotating equipment, especially in water and wastewater applications.
  • Proven leadership experience within a commercial or sales organisation.
  • Demonstrated success in developing customer relationships and delivering against ambitious sales targets.
  • Skilled in market analysis, commercial strategy, and contract negotiation.
  • A recognised qualification in Engineering, Environmental Science, or a related discipline is preferred but not essential.

What We Offer You

  • Competitive basic salary
  • Car or car allowance – EV options available
  • Annual Bonus Scheme
  • 33 days annual leave
  • Defined contribution pension scheme
  • Confidential Employee Assistance Programmes
  • Wide range of retail and lifestyle discounts
  • Costco membership option
  • Discounted personal car leasing
  • Long Service Awards
  • Continuous learning and development through Sulzer Learning Pathways

Role Location: Home-based, with responsibility for customers across the UK. You’ll manage your own schedule, balancing customer site visits, working from home, and time in our facilities. Midlands-based is ideal but not essential – what matters most is your willingness to travel nationwide.
