Reporting to the Director you will:

• Develop new business opportunities within the generator rental/hire market and maximise utilisation of a fleet of 70-80 generators.
• Manage and grow relationships with existing customers and key accounts across the UK.
• Promote temporary power solutions, including generator hire, fuel tanks, load banks, and associated equipment.
• Identify opportunities across multiple sectors, such as construction, industrial, utilities, events, infrastructure, and emergency backup power.

• Work closely with internal operations and engineering teams to ensure smooth delivery of rental projects.

• Experience selling relevant equipment, such as temporary power solutions, generators, load banks, fuel tanks, or associated rental equipment.
• A full UK driving licence (essential for site and customer visits).
