Influx Search is supporting a UK-based, engineering-led manufacturer and service provider specialising in advanced pipeline maintenance, inspection and integrity solutions. With a long-established heritage in complex industrial environments, the business is now scaling rapidly into the UK water, market, transferring proven technologies into a sector ready for innovation.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a strategically critical market and play a central role in shaping long-term growth.
The opportunity The Sales Director will lead the development of the company’s water and utilities business, accelerating growth from an emerging revenue stream into a core pillar of the organisation. Initially operating in a player-coach capacity, the role combines hands‑on business development with senior‑level strategy, working closely with the Managing Director and Board.
You will move the business from a reactive, project‑led approach to a proactive, relationship‑driven commercial model, securing frameworks, influencing specifications and establishing the organisation as a trusted partner to UK water utilities and contractors.
Key responsibilities
Define and execute a clear UK water growth strategy, including market segmentation, target accounts and routes to market
Personally lead the acquisition of new water and wastewater projects, moving beyond inbound enquiries
Build and develop a dedicated water-focused sales capability as momentum grows
Establish senior relationships with utilities, contractors and key industry stakeholders
Work closely with engineering and operations teams to scope, price and deliver complex, tailored solutions
Act as a credible commercial partner to the Board, providing forecasting, insight and strategic input
Candidate profile We are seeking a commercially astute, self‑starting leader with deep understanding of the UK water sector.
You are likely to bring:
Senior commercial leadership experience within UK water utilities and/or water contractors
A proven track record of opening and scaling new market segments
Confidence selling complex, engineered, project‑based solutions in multi‑stakeholder environments
Strong strategic capability, with the gravitas to operate at board level
An entrepreneurial mindset, resilience and comfort with long sales cycles
Direct experience of pipeline pigging or inspection technologies is not essential but would be a huge plus. Sector knowledge, networks and the ability to translate opportunity into structured growth are far more important.
Next steps If you are motivated by building something of substance within a technically credible, growth‑oriented organisation, this role offers genuine influence and long‑term opportunity.
