About Portwest
Portwest, a family-owned company that grew out of a shop in Westport, Ireland, designs and makes protective wear in its own factories, and its field sellers sell that range into distribution rather than straight to end users: workwear and safety distributors, resellers, wholesalers and agents, who then supply the sites and crews that wear the kit. The core seat is the area sales manager, a full-time permanent field role reporting to a regional or country sales manager, with a territory within driving distance of its main accounts, face-to-face meetings every day carrying samples of new lines, written quotes and proposals, new distributors to open and existing ones to grow, and distributor promotions to push through to end users. Beside them sit product specialists such as a hand protection technical sales manager for Hungary and Romania, who trains distributors and Portwest's own reps on gloves, joins distributors on calls to end users and feeds gaps in the range back to the product team. The postings ask for experience selling PPE or workwear, or another line that moves through the same channel (automotive, tools, chemicals, MRO), plus a clean driving licence and willingness to travel the territory. Territories run across Europe, the US, Africa and Asia, with German-speaking roles written in German.

If one of these employers pays a referral fee, it comes from them when you apply here, and your offer stays exactly the same.
SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
