Regional Sales Manager (Technical)
Vacancy No 5591 Vacancy Title Regional Manager (Technical) – Ireland Location Field-Based, covering the Republic of Ireland About Our Client Our client is a family-owned, global leader in construction fixing technology, trusted by professionals in over 40 countries. With a product portfolio spanning over 15,000 articles — from chemical and mechanical anchors through to market-leading FireStop and cavity barrier systems — they combine six decades of engineering heritage with a genuinely innovative, technically-led approach to the market. The Role — A Genuine Blank Page This is a true green-field opportunity: you'll be building this region from scratch.
