International EPC & Project Sales Manager
* Project management within existing customers
* Focusing on EPC Contractors
* Europe, Middle East, APAC Quarterly travel
* Safety products for industrial/Oil & Gas customers.
* Reports to: VP of Sales
* Hybrid – Manchester + international travel
* £50,000–£60,000 Salary
* 15% Bonus + Benefits
Shape the projects. Win the specifications. Deliver the growth.
Our client is a leading manufacturer of engineered safety equipment, protecting people working in some of the world's most demanding industrial environments. They're looking for an International EPC & Project Manager to own their engagement with Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractors, engineering consultants and key end users across Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
This isn't a desk-bound role. You'll be in the room early — influencing specifications before the bid even lands, then guiding projects all the way from first enquiry through to delivery, commissioning and lessons learned. You'll manage a pipeline worth ~£6M, and if you thrive at the intersection of technical credibility and commercial sharpness, this is your role.
Location: Hybrid, based from our client's Manchester site — mostly office-based, with regular international travel across your assigned regions. Ideally commutable to Manchester.
What you'll do
* Build the pipeline. Own and develop EPC, consultant and key end-user relationships worth £6M across your regions, converting early project intelligence into a qualified pipeline and profitable sales growth.
* Get in early. Visit EPCs, engineering firms and customers regularly to spot projects at the specification stage and position our solutions throughout the project lifecycle.
* Win the technical argument. Review bid packages, specifications, datasheets and drawings; identify risks and deviations; and work with Engineering and Sales to build technically sound, competitive proposals.
* Influence and educate. Deliver technical presentations, lunch-and-learn sessions and training that build product knowledge and specification preference with the engineers who matter.
* Close with confidence. Lead technical and commercial clarifications through bid and negotiation, supporting pricing strategy and keeping opportunity and account data razor sharp.
* Own the execution. Review contracts and purchase orders against the final quotation, then manage awarded projects cross-functionally — schedules, drawings, documentation, inspections, witness testing, long-lead items, stage payments and delivery milestones.
* Protect the margin. Monitor project performance, cost, cash flow and risk, resolve issues proactively and capture lessons learned to sharpen future bids.
What you'll bring
* Experience: Minimum 3 years in a technical-commercial, EPC, project management, proposal engineering, application engineering or industrial sales role. Experience working with EPCs and complex engineered equipment is strongly preferred.
* Education: Relevant Qualifications in Engineering, Engineering Technology or a related technical discipline is preferred — though an equivalent combination of technical education and hands-on experience counts just as much.
* Technical depth: You can interpret EPC specifications, datasheets, drawings and bid packages with ease, and you understand engineered industrial equipment and electrical requirements. Awareness of ATEX/IECEx and relevant regional codes and standards is a plus.
* Commercial instincts: Consultative selling, business development, negotiation and pricing strategy — you know how to convert technical credibility into profitable growth.
* People skills without the title: No direct reports here, but you'll lead cross-functional project teams and coordinate subcontractors, installers and commissioning resources — influencing stakeholders inside and outside the business without direct authority.
* Tools of the trade: Proficiency with CRM, Microsoft Office and project-management tools, plus the confidence to develop and deliver technical presentations.
* Global mindset: Comfortable working across cultures, time zones and multiple concurrent projects — with quarterly international travel across your regions, plus a hybrid working pattern of mainly office-based days in Manchester.
What's on offer
* £50,000–£60,000 base salary
* 15% annual bonus
* Comprehensive benefits package
* Progression & Development opportunities
Why this role matters
You'll be the bridge between customers' most complex safety requirements and the engineered solutions that keep their people safe. From oil and gas to petrochemicals, wherever workers face hazardous conditions, the specifications you influence and the projects you deliver make a real difference.
Interested?
If you're a self-directed, results-driven professional who loves the challenge of complex engineered projects and international markets, we'd love to hear from you.
