Are you a passionate sales professional who thrives on building relationships, influencing buyers, and growing business? Looking to join a growing company where you can truly make an impact?

We're recruiting a Sales Specialist to join an established safety footwear manufacturer during an exciting phase of growth and transformation. With investment in new product development and a refreshed structure, this is a unique opportunity to be a key player in shaping the next chapter of the business.

About the Role:

In this hands-on, commercially focused role, you'll take responsibility for strengthening and growing relationships with UK distributors of safety footwear. These include both front line sales teams and occasionally category managers.

Your goal?

To educate, influence, and inspire distributors to promote and sell safety footwear products over competing brands.

Your Day-to-Day Will Include:

Building strong, trust-based relationships with distributor sales teams
Delivering compelling product education and sales support
Supporting new product launches and presenting to category managers as required
Assisting with catalogue reviews and tender processes
Growing existing distributor account sales and identifying new opportunities
Hitting clear, quarterly KPIs linked to transparent commission structures

What We're Looking For:

Proven experience in selling physical products (not services)
Commercial awareness of stock, availability, margins, and product features
Strong relationship-builder and problem-solver
Excellent communicator with a persuasive edge
Organised, self-motivated, and driven to succeed
Able to balance the long game of relationship-building with short-term wins

Experience in the safety footwear or PPE sector is a bonus, but not essential - we'll teach you what you need to know if you have the right product sales background.

Why Join?

Be part of a growing, ambitious team proud of the products they make and the clients they support
Work in a business where your impact is visible and recognised
Supportive, collaborative working culture
Quarterly bonuses based on clear and achievable goals
Hybrid working option for the right candidate if living further afield (3 days in-office)

Apply today to find out more about joining a business where doing a great job is genuinely valued - and where your efforts will help shape a company on the rise.

As you know over here at Zest we like to do things properly and always want to keep you, the candidate in the loop. Applying to this 'one of a kind' role you give Zest permission to hold your information.

UAV Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Platforms & Technologies to Learn Now

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are no longer just military assets—they're transforming agriculture, infrastructure inspection, logistics, filmmaking, and public safety. As commercial drone operations scale in the UK, the demand for skilled UAV professionals is rising sharply across engineering, flight operations, data analysis, and autonomous systems. Welcome to the UAV Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the tools, platforms, certifications, and technologies that are shaping UAV careers in the UK. Whether you're a drone pilot, systems engineer, or AI developer working on autonomous navigation, this radar shows you what to focus on to remain in-demand.

How to Find Hidden UAV Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IMechE, RAeS & More

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are transforming industries in the UK—from surveying, inspection, and agriculture to emergency services, logistics, and defence. As the sector evolves, so too does the demand for skilled UAV professionals: pilots, systems engineers, data analysts, AI specialists, and regulatory experts. Yet many of the best UAV jobs—especially in R&D, government contracts, and specialist commercial operations—are never advertised publicly. They’re often filled through trusted networks, working group referrals, pilot programmes, and specialist community engagement. In this guide, you’ll discover how to access hidden UAV jobs in the UK by engaging with professional bodies like the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), APRIL (UK), and regional drone networks. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, special interest groups (SIGs), and industry clusters to position yourself at the forefront of opportunity—before roles are even published.

How to Get a Better UAV Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drone technology can be disheartening—especially in such a cutting-edge and evolving sector. But with the growing adoption of UAVs in defence, surveying, logistics, agriculture, inspection, and emergency response, your skills remain in demand. Whether you're a drone pilot, UAV systems engineer, geospatial analyst, flight software developer, or mechanical integrator, this guide will help you bounce back stronger after redundancy.
