Job Description:

Conquip Engineering Group | Alton, Hampshire

Internal Sales Executive

Salary: £35,000 – £45,000+ depending on experience

Location: Alton, Hampshire (GU34) – Office Based

Hours: Monday to Friday | 7:30am – 5:00pm

Interviews: Immediately

 We’re looking for a commercially sharp, confident and ambitious Internal Sales Executive who knows how to turn conversations into customers and opportunities into revenue.

If you love the buzz of winning business, thrive in a fast-moving environment and want a role where your contribution genuinely matters, this could be your next move. At Conquip Engineering Group, we’re growing, with £600,000–£900,000 worth of inbound sales and hire enquiries coming through every month !. That’s a substantial pipeline of genuine opportunities and the chance for the right person to make a real commercial impact. We’re not looking for someone to simply answer the phone and process enquiries. We want someone who can spot an opportunity, take ownership, build relationships and get the deal over the line.

The Opportunity

You’ll be joining a busy, established sales operation, working at the heart of our commercial team and alongside experienced Area Sales Managers to maximise every opportunity that comes through the business. From the initial enquiry through to quotation, negotiation and closing, you’ll play a key role in driving revenue, developing customer relationships and delivering an exceptional customer experience. You’ll be handling genuine inbound opportunities, but equally, you’ll have the confidence and initiative to pick up the phone, generate new business and keep the pipeline moving. This is a hands-on, commercially focused sales role where pace, personality and performance really matter.

What You’ll Be Doing

● Winning business: Managing inbound sales and hire enquiries, understanding customer requirements, preparing competitive quotations and converting opportunities into revenue.

● Maximising opportunities: Identifying upselling and cross-selling potential, spotting new projects and making sure every enquiry receives the attention it deserves.

● Building customer relationships: Developing rapport, earning trust and creating long-term relationships that generate repeat business.

● Driving sales activity: Proactively following up quotations, contacting prospective customers, supporting marketing campaigns and generating new opportunities.

● Working as one sales team: Partnering closely with Area Sales Managers, supporting their pipelines, arranging customer appointments and helping the wider team achieve its targets.

● Taking ownership: Managing opportunities from start to finish, keeping Salesforce CRM accurate and ensuring nothing gets missed or left behind.

What We’re Looking For

We’re interested in people who genuinely enjoy sales, understand the importance of building relationships and have the commercial instinct to turn opportunities into results.

You’ll be someone who:

● Has a genuine passion for sales and enjoys the challenge of winning business.

● Is commercially switched on, confident in conversations and comfortable asking for the sale.

● Has drive and ambition, with a desire to develop, progress and take on greater responsibility.

● Is naturally proactive, spotting opportunities and taking the initiative rather than waiting for direction.

● Thrives in a fast-paced environment, balancing multiple enquiries and priorities without losing focus.

● Builds relationships easily, communicating confidently with customers and colleagues at all levels.

● Is organised and persistent, understanding that excellent follow-up, accuracy and attention to detail are essential to successful sales.

● Is a genuine team player, motivated by personal performance but equally invested in the success of the wider team.

Previous experience in internal sales, account management, business development or a similar commercial role would be ideal. Experience within construction, engineering, plant hire or a related sector would be advantageous, but it’s not essential.

For us, the right attitude, commercial ability and willingness to learn are just as important as industry experience.

Looking for More Than Just Your Next Sales Job?

We want someone who sees this as an opportunity to build a career, not simply fill a position. At Conquip, you’ll be working with an experienced sales team, gaining exposure to a wide range of customers, projects and commercial opportunities while developing your knowledge of our products, services and industry. We’re an ambitious business with exciting plans for continued growth, and we want people who are motivated to grow with us. If you’ve got the ability, commitment and ambition to develop your career, this is an environment where you can make a real difference.

Why Join Conquip?

● Competitive salary of £35,000–£45,000 +, depending on experience.

● £600k–£900k in monthly inbound sales and hire enquiries, providing genuine opportunities to win business.

● An established, growing business with a strong reputation across the construction, manufacturing and engineering sectors.

● A fast-paced, commercially focused environment where your contribution has a direct impact.

● The opportunity to learn from experienced sales professionals and develop your skills.

● Long-term career development and progression opportunities as the business continues to grow.

● A supportive, collaborative team where initiative, hard work and results are valued.

Think You’ve Got What It Takes?

 We’re looking for someone who brings energy to the office, confidence to customer conversations and determination to every opportunity. You don’t need to know everything about our industry on day one. But you do need the right attitude, commercial instinct and willingness to learn.

If you’re ready to join a growing business, make a genuine impact and take the next step in your sales career, we’d love to hear from you.
