Technical Sales Manager

Technical Sales Manager
Deepwater EU Limited | Frimley, UK | Region: UK, Europe, Middle East & Africa

About Deepwater

Deepwater is a global leader in subsea corrosion control, protecting everything from oil and gas platforms to coastal terminals to offshore wind turbines. With operations spanning the USA, UK, Brazil, Norway and Australia, we've designed, built and installed more offshore cathodic protection systems than any other company in the world — and we back that up with highly respected corrosion investigation and subsea inspection services.

We're looking for a Technical Sales Manager to drive growth across our UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa region — someone who can grow existing accounts, win new business, and help shape how we respond to a changing energy market.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the General Manager, you'll own our sales targets across the region — managing and growing revenue through existing accounts, converting new prospects into customers, and building campaigns that respond to shifting market conditions. You'll also guide project proposals from concept through approval, and be the person leadership counts on for accurate forecasting.

We're looking for someone with deep sales experience and real technical credibility in offshore oil, gas and wind — someone who combines sharp analytical thinking with genuine relationship-building skill, and who brings a professional, can-do, goal-oriented energy to everything they do.

What You'll Do

• Hit bookings targets and other agreed KPIs
• Build and execute a sales strategy aligned with company priorities — including training the wider team to sell Deepwater's offering effectively
• Coordinate proposals and sales activity with a focus on winning bids, working closely with Engineering and Projects on solutions under development
• Keep the business informed — weekly activity reporting, full activity logging in Salesforce, timely expense reports, and proposals that go beyond what customers expect
• Prepare and maintain sales forecasts for monthly financial and executive management reporting
• Represent Deepwater at exhibitions across the UK, Europe and the Middle East
• Interview, hire, and train new members of the sales team

Who You'll Work With

You'll report to the General Manager and partner closely with Operations to develop and land winning proposals, and with customers directly to provide technical sales support and service.

What We're Looking For

• A degree and 5+ years of outside sales experience in offshore oil, gas or wind (or 10+ years of relevant technical sales experience in our industry without a degree)
• Proven management experience
• A track record of hitting sales goals, with the ability to show how you've planned and executed a sales strategy
• Technical grounding in corrosion control or cathodic protection is a strong plus
• Familiarity with Salesforce CRM is a plus

You'll Thrive in This Role If You...

• Sell on value — asking the right questions, listening closely, and finding creative ways through tough negotiations
• Take the long view with customers, investing the time it takes to build trust and grow accounts
• Are always learning — curious about new sales strategies and quick to adapt as the industry shifts
• Communicate and negotiate with confidence
• Lead by example and work fluidly across Marketing, R&D, Engineering, Finance and Logistics
• Are self-motivated, ready to travel internationally, and naturally think ahead about what needs to happen next
• Can juggle a lot at once — team pipeline, marketing-generated leads, and customer satisfaction on live projects — without losing focus

Safety matters to us — you'll be expected to work in line with Deepwater's health and safety policies and take an active role in keeping yourself and colleagues safe.
