AGV, AMR & Robotics sector
Robotics is the fastest moving part of warehouse automation. Automated guided vehicles, autonomous mobile robots, goods to person systems and robotic picking are changing how warehouses operate, and the businesses selling them compete hard for a small pool of people who can sell complex, high-value, consultative solutions. Evara recruits the commercial talent who manage long sales cycles, work with technical and operational stakeholders, and turn robotics capability into measurable customer value.
Selling robotics is consultative, technical and high stakes. The best people understand throughput, return on investment, integration risk and the operational pressures their customers live with, and they can hold credible conversations from the warehouse floor to the boardroom. Evara is a UK intralogistics commercial recruiter that knows this market and the people in it, and we screen for solution sellers who can carry a long, complex deal rather than transactional closers.

Robotics commercial talent is scarce and highly sought after. The strongest people combine solution selling with genuine technical fluency, and they often move between automation OEMs, integrators and the more established materials handling businesses building out robotics propositions. Pre-sales and solutions consultants are an especially thin pool. Because the candidates are so visible and in demand, confidential, well-briefed approaches are essential, and many of the best hires come from passive talent rather than active applicants.
Pay in AGV, AMR and robotics is driven by deal size, the length and complexity of the sales cycle, and the technical depth required to win. Solution sellers and pre-sales consultants who can carry large, multi-stakeholder capital projects command more than transactional sellers. Reward typically reflects the long cycle, often with commission weighted to closed and delivered projects, and rises with the seniority of the stakeholders engaged and the scale of the solutions sold.
Yorkshire
Yorkshire's concentration of large distribution centres and fulfilment operations along the M62 and M1 makes it a natural market for warehouse robotics. The logistics clusters around Leeds, Wakefield, Doncaster and Sheffield host the kind of high-throughput operations that invest in automation, which supports demand for robotics commercial talent across the region.
North West
The North West is a major fulfilment and distribution region, served by the M6 and M62 and the Port of Liverpool. Large warehousing operations around Manchester, Warrington and the wider motorway network are exactly the customers robotics businesses target, and the region offers a credible base of commercial and technical talent for automation roles.
