GRID Innovations builds digital people and development platforms for the Rail, Construction and Utilities industries. We replace outdated, paper-based processes with smart software that gives organisations clearer visibility of workforce capability and supports safer performance.

We see GRID as a specialist, modern alternative to traditional methods. Our purpose-built platforms are shaped by real industry experience and turn training, skills and risk data into clear, actionable insight.

We’re a growing UK business with proven products, established clients and significant scope to expand across our target industries. Until now, we’ve achieved that growth without a dedicated sales function, and we’re ready to change that.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for an experienced freelance sales professional who can open doors, develop new relationships and turn opportunities into business. You’ll work with established products that solve real industry problems, while helping shape GRID’s sales approach as we grow.

We’re looking for someone who understands consultative B2B selling, can identify where our platforms add genuine value, and is comfortable building relationships with decision-makers across Rail, Construction and Utilities.

For the right person, there’s an opportunity to build a long-term relationship with GRID and share in the commercial growth you help create.

Products

Our full suite of platforms:

Person in Charge (PIC)
Our original Person in Charge platform is highly targeted and specific to a prominent safety-critical role in the rail industry; it offers a blended approach to professional development through a 6-part e-learning series and a practical on-site assessment. The resulting data gives organisations greater visibility of workforce capability and helps identify targeted development needs before they become operational risks.

Person in Charge – Supervisors
Building on our original PIC platform, PIC for Supervisors follows the same structured approach of e-learning x assessment, but for the broader role of Supervisor (Black Hats). For organisations with large or distributed workforces, it provides clearer assurance that good practice isn’t just defined centrally but reinforced at site level.

SKE – Skills, Knowledge & Experience
SKE helps organisations define what good looks like for individual roles and assess their workforce against the skills, knowledge and experience required to perform them effectively. Organisations can build role-specific capability frameworks and digital career plans by categorising training and development requirements as mandatory, beneficial or best practice, giving them a clearer picture of both current capability and future development needs. The platform also enables businesses to forecast the training costs associated with closing identified gaps, supporting more informed workforce and budget planning. Ultimately, SKE helps organisations understand whether they have the right capability in the right roles, where their risks sit and what it will cost to address them.

RM3 Engage
RM3 Engage digitises the Risk Management Maturity Model (RM3) assessment process used across the UK rail industry. Instead of managing assessments through documents, spreadsheets and isolated workshops, organisations can conduct self-assessments, engage a broader cross-section of their workforce, compare maturity across the business and track improvement actions in one platform. GRID also supports clients in interpreting RM3 findings and translating them into practical improvement plans, including alignment with existing management systems and ISO frameworks.

Benefits

  • Working with a well-established company

    Grid Innovations develops specialist digital platforms for workforce capability, development and risk management. Our team brings extensive practical experience across rail, construction and other safety-critical industries. Our products are used in operational environments and backed by published customer testimonials. Agents will work directly with our management team, with access to technical expertise and support throughout the sales process.

  • Innovative product / service

    Our platforms turn fragmented, manual processes into clear, actionable information. PIC combines online learning with practical assessment and development planning for rail PICs and supervisors. RM3 Engage digitises risk maturity assessment, evidence gathering and improvement actions. SKE maps workforce skills, knowledge and experience against role requirements, helping customers identify capability gaps and prioritise development. Built around practical industry needs, our products help customers improve visibility, reduce administration and make better-informed decisions.

  • Recurring commission

    Agents can build recurring income through the customer accounts they introduce. We offer 15% commission on eligible first-year sales and 5% on eligible subscription and licence renewals, subject to agreed ongoing account responsibilities. Commission is calculated on eligible customer payments received, excluding VAT. Product eligibility, renewal arrangements and account responsibilities will be clearly defined in the agent agreement.

  • Professional training and support

    We will provide initial training on PIC, RM3 Engage and SKE, covering product benefits, target customers, typical applications, pricing and the sales process. Agents will have access to product demonstrations and ongoing support from our management and technical team. Grid will support technical discussions, scope development and proposals, enabling agents to concentrate on building relationships and developing sales opportunities.

  • Sales and marketing support

    Agents will receive product information, sales presentations, customer case studies and access to demonstrations. Our marketing team will support clear, consistent product messaging, while our technical team will assist with customer questions and tailored proposals. Grid will manage customer contracting, implementation and product support, providing a clear handover from sale to delivery.

  • Freedom & flexibility

    This is a self-employed, commission-only partnership offering flexibility over working hours, location and approach. Agents can represent Grid alongside complementary, non-competing products and services, developing opportunities through their own networks and prospecting. We will agree target markets, lead registration and practical communication arrangements together, with Grid providing support as opportunities progress.

Target market

GRID’s primary market is the UK Rail, Construction and Utilities sectors, targeting organisations where workforce competence, safety-critical roles, training assurance and risk management are fundamental to their operations.

Within Rail, this includes Tier 1 contractors, infrastructure owners and operators, train operating companies, specialist contractors and organisations throughout the wider rail supply chain. Our platforms are particularly relevant to businesses managing large or distributed workforces, safety-critical personnel and complex competence requirements.

While the UK is our immediate focus, we also see significant international potential. GRID’s products have been developed around the standards, processes and safety culture of the UK rail industry, providing a strong foundation for expansion into mature rail markets such as Canada, the United States and Australia, where many of the same challenges around workforce competence, safety assurance and organisational risk exist.

Across Construction and Utilities, we are looking to work with major contractors, infrastructure businesses and specialist service providers facing similar challenges around demonstrating workforce capability, managing training and competence, and improving safety performance.

 

Ideal Profile

We’re looking for an experienced B2B sales professional with an established network in Rail, Construction, Utilities or wider infrastructure. Ideally, you’ll already have relationships with senior decision-makers across areas such as Operations, Health & Safety, Learning & Development, Competence, HR and Risk, and understand how to navigate complex organisations with multiple stakeholders.

This opportunity would suit someone comfortable with consultative selling rather than high-volume transactional sales. Our platforms address genuine operational challenges, so we’re looking for someone who can understand a client’s needs, identify where GRID can add value and build the relationship through to a commercial opportunity.

For the right person, GRID offers something a little different. We have proven products, established clients and existing industry credibility, but haven’t yet built a dedicated sales function. That means there is significant untapped potential and the successful agent won’t simply be handed a fixed sales playbook – they’ll have the opportunity to help shape our commercial approach, identify new markets and grow alongside the business.

With four complementary platforms, there are also multiple routes into prospective clients and opportunities to expand relationships once established. We’re looking to build a long-term partnership with someone who sees the potential in what we’re developing and wants to share in the growth they help create.
