Technical Sales – Aerospace & Defence

I’m pleased to share that we are now leading a retained search project for an Area Sales Manager / Technical Sales Manager on behalf of a long-established European technology business supplying high-reliability engineered components and sub assemblies into defence and aerospace platforms.

This is a high-autonomy, technical/business development role — ideally suited to commercially minded engineers or technical sales professionals who enjoy:

🔹 Selling complex, engineered technology rather than catalogue products
🔹 Engaging with engineering teams, programme managers & procurement
🔹 Working on long sales cycles and early design-stage influence
🔹 Building deep, trusted customer relationships rather than chasing price-driven deals

The successful candidate will be responsible for expanding business with major aerospace & defence OEMs and system integrators across the UK (primary) and Northern Europe (secondary), supported by strong technical expertise, product specialists and European leadership.

💼 What makes this opportunity stand out

  • Freedom to operate with genuine ownership of the market
  • Selling bespoke, application-specific solutions — not competing on price
  • A company that makes quick decisions and supports its people properly
  • Excellent onboarding and technical training across Europe
  • A realistic first-year success metric based on pipeline and activity, not unrealistic revenue targets

This will suit someone with experience in technical or engineered solution sales — ideally within defence, aerospace, rugged electronics, RF/microwave, opto-electronics, sensors or a closely related sector.

📩 Interested in a confidential discussion?

  • If you’re exploring your next move
  • Or you know someone who would be a great fit

I’d be very happy to speak, in confidence, so do get in touch.

🚀 Hiring: Internal Sales Manager – Ireland & UK

Are you an experienced Internal Sales Manager or Inside Sales Team Leader looking for your next challenge? We are working with a leading player in the construction products and manufacturing sector, who are looking to strengthen their commercial team with a new hire based in the Central Belt of Ireland.

This is a career-defining opportunity to join a company at the forefront of construction technology, building materials, and engineering solutions — with a reputation for innovation and growth across both Ireland and the UK.

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike many internal sales roles, this position offers genuine scope to:

  • Build and lead a team – grow an internal sales function from 3 staff to 8+ in the next phase.
  • Shape strategy and process – implement best practice in CRM, ERP, and customer engagement.
  • Work closely with business development managers, estimating, production and operations – giving you visibility across the whole commercial lifecycle.
  • Have a real impact on customer experience, order management, sales growth, and team performance.

It’s a chance to combine people leadership with hands-on sales management, while developing your career within a fast-paced and supportive environment.

What We’re Looking For

We’d love to speak with professionals who have:

  • Proven experience as an Internal Sales Manager, Inside Sales Manager, or Sales Office Manager.
  • Background in construction products, manufacturing, building materials, or engineering.
  • Strong track record in leading teams, coaching, and hitting sales KPIs.
  • Knowledge of CRM systems, ERP processes, and sales reporting.
  • Commercial awareness with a customer-first approach.

A degree is not essential – if you’ve successfully managed sales teams in a similar environment, we want to hear from you.

The Right Candidate Will Thrive If…

  • You enjoy motivating people and building a high-performance culture.
  • You have the resilience to juggle targets, customers, and internal stakeholders.
  • You’re data-driven and can use KPIs, pipeline reports, and forecasts to guide performance.
  • You want to play a key role in the growth of a sales operation covering both Ireland and the UK.

Location

This role is based at a state-of-the-art facility in Central Ireland, within easy reach of towns such as Naas, Newbridge, Carlow, Kilkenny, Tullamore, Athlone, Thurles, and Dublin (west/southwest suburbs). With excellent motorway links (M7/M8), it is accessible from a wide commuter belt.

What’s On Offer

  • Competitive salary package.
  • The chance to shape and scale a sales team in a business with strong growth ambitions.
  • Exposure to the latest in construction products, reinforcement solutions, and smart factory technology.
  • A collaborative culture where customer service and team development are central.

Next Steps

If you’re ready to take on a role where you can lead, influence, and deliver results, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for.

Completed Assignment – Thermal Technology

Once again an Executive Search project was quickly completed successfully within just a few weeks of starting the assignment. Approached at the end of July by a European Specialist in Thermal Applications to find them a UK Sales Manager, by the middle of August we had three excellent candidates and the company made an offer to their preferred choice at the start of September. So yet another company benefitted from the fact that Aarca is boutique style and only works on a small number of projects (usually one) at a time until completion.

Sometimes small is beautiful, so instead of being just one in a pool of gradually increasing hundreds of clients with a large agency, come and speak to us, where you are always our top priority.
