Sales Recruitment for Attachments, Parts & Aftermarket
Search for mid to senior commercial hires across attachments, parts and aftermarket, including aftermarket sales managers, parts specialists, service contract sales and attachment business development. We screen for sellers who grow recurring contract value and carry genuine technical credibility.
The aftermarket is where much of the material handling industry makes its margin. Forklift attachments such as clamps, rotators, fork positioners and side shifts, the spare parts and consumables that keep equipment running, and the service and maintenance contracts that wrap around a fleet all rely on a distinct kind of commercial seller. Evara recruits the people who sell attachments, parts, service contracts and aftermarket programmes for manufacturers, parts suppliers and dealers.
Aftermarket selling is recurring, technical and relationship-led. The best people understand uptime, planned maintenance economics, parts logistics and how to convert a one-off equipment sale into a long-term service and parts annuity. Evara is a UK intralogistics commercial recruiter that knows the difference between a capital equipment seller and an aftermarket specialist, and we screen for the commercial behaviours that grow contract value over time rather than chase one-off transactions.
Pay in attachments, parts and aftermarket is shaped by the recurring nature of the revenue and the technical complexity of the sale. Roles that grow service contract value and parts annuities, or that sell engineered attachments into specific applications, tend to be rewarded on retained and expanded contract value rather than one-off deals. Internal parts sales sits below field aftermarket and attachment specialists, and pay rises with account size, technical content and responsibility for contract renewals.
How we work
01
We start with a structured kick-off that captures the commercial objective, not just the title. Reporting line, package, the deal sizes the person will sell, the technical buyers they will sell to, and the behaviours that succeed in your environment.
02
We map where the right people actually sit, across direct competitors, adjacent intralogistics sub-sectors and proven environments in your region. This becomes the longlist of candidates we approach, not just whoever is on the job boards this week.
03
Candidates are approached with a clear commercial narrative, not a job advert. We communicate the opportunity, the products, the customers and the growth path, so only genuinely relevant people move forward.
04
Two structured commercial screens before a candidate ever reaches you. Track record validation, deal-stage probing, technical credibility and a credibility check on the numbers they have actually delivered.
05
You receive a considered shortlist, not a CV flood. Each candidate is presented with strengths, potential risks and a fit assessment. We then support the process through to offer, acceptance and the first 90 days.

FAQs
Aftermarket and service contract sales managers, parts sales specialists, attachment business development and application engineers, key account managers for parts and service, and aftermarket leadership, for OEMs, attachment manufacturers, parts suppliers and dealers.
Aftermarket selling is recurring and contract-led, built on uptime, planned maintenance and parts annuities rather than one-off capital deals. The behaviours and incentives that drive it are different, so we screen for sellers who grow contract value over time.
Yes. Attachment sales often need application engineering credibility to match the right clamp, rotator or fork system to a customer process, so we recruit for both the commercial and technical sides of that sale.
Yes. We support businesses building or restructuring aftermarket teams, from internal parts sales through to field service contract specialists and the leadership above them.
A typical retained search runs 6 to 10 weeks from kick-off to offer accepted. Senior searches sit at the longer end of that range. We will not rush a shortlist to hit an arbitrary deadline.
No. Every Evara search is retained on a two-payment structure: a commitment deposit paid up front to cover the strategic work, and a completion fee invoiced on day 60 of the placed candidate's employment. This protects the rigour of the process and means we are accountable for the outcome, not for activity.
