Sales Recruitment for Conveyors & Sortation
Search for mid to senior commercial hires across conveyors and sortation, including solution sales managers, sales engineers, pre-sales consultants and project sales managers. We screen for people who can carry engineered, project-led capital sales across long procurement cycles.
Conveyors and sortation are the backbone of high-throughput distribution and parcel operations. From powered roller conveyors and belt systems to cross-belt and tilt-tray sorters, these are engineered, project-led sales delivered over long procurement cycles, often alongside automation, software and fit-out partners. Evara recruits the commercial people who win and manage these projects for conveyor and sortation manufacturers and integrators.
Conveyor and sortation sales are technical, project-led and high value. The best people understand throughput requirements, system design, integration risk and the operational realities of parcel, e-commerce and distribution customers, and they can manage long, multi-stakeholder buying processes. Evara is a UK intralogistics commercial recruiter that screens for engineers and solution sellers who can carry complex capital projects, not transactional sellers.
Pay in conveyors and sortation is driven by project size, system complexity and the length of the procurement cycle. Solution sellers and sales engineers who carry large, engineered capital projects are rewarded above transactional roles, often with incentives tied to project award and delivery. Reward rises with the technical content of the sale, the scale of the systems involved and the seniority of the stakeholders engaged across long buying processes.
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
Business development and solution sales managers, sales engineers, pre-sales consultants, project sales managers, key account managers and sales leadership, for conveyor and sortation manufacturers and integrators.
These are engineered, project-led capital sales with long procurement cycles and multiple stakeholders. A specialist recruiter screens for the technical credibility and project commercial discipline that win this business.
Yes. Sales engineering and pre-sales credibility is central to winning conveyor and sortation projects, so we recruit across both the commercial and technical sides of the sale.
Yes. We help systems manufacturers and integrators build or restructure project sales and pre-sales teams, from individual hires to full functions 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.
