Technical Account Manager - Commercial Vehicle Components

A career step for commercial vehicle, truck and HGV technicians seeking a customer‑facing role

If you're a commercial vehicle, truck or HGV mechanic or technician looking to move away from the tools while still applying your technical expertise, this role offers a strong and well‑supported next step. A global commercial vehicle components manufacturer is recruiting a Technical Account Manager to support their aftermarket distributors across the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

You do not need previous sales experience. What matters is your technical understanding of commercial vehicle and HGV systems, your diagnostic mindset and your ability to build rapport with customers. Full training and ongoing development will be provided to help you build confidence on the commercial side.

This is a field‑based position where you will continue to use your technical background, supporting customers, resolving issues and representing a respected brand within the commercial vehicle aftermarket.

What's on offer

* Salary: £36,000-£47,000 basic (DOE)
* Benefits: Company bonus scheme, company car
* Field‑based role covering Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland (with overnight stays)
* Ideal home locations: Leeds, Bradford, York, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Penrith, Carlisle, Durham, Newcastle‑upon‑Tyne

Key responsibilities

With full training and support, you will:

* Visit distributors, workshops and fleet customers to provide technical guidance on commercial vehicle and truck components
* Troubleshoot issues, support diagnostics and help customers maximise product performance
* Build strong relationships and act as the trusted technical contact for your region
* Support commercial discussions, including pricing conversations and annual reviews
* Share market insights, product trends and competitor activity within the commercial vehicle sector
* Collaborate with the wider technical support network to resolve complex technical cases
* Maintain accurate CRM records and produce customer reports

About you

This role would suit a:

* Commercial vehicle, truck or HGV mechanic or technician with strong technical knowledge of vehicle systems, components or diagnostics
* Professional with experience in a workshop, technical support, parts, fleet maintenance or similar environment
* Technician looking to develop commercially while staying close to the technical side
* Confident communicator who can engage effectively with customers
* Proactive, organised and solutions‑focused individual

If you enjoy problem‑solving, supporting customers and working out in the field - and you're ready for a long‑term career path beyond the workshop - this role offers a well‑supported transition for commercial vehicle, truck and HGV technicians.
