Job description

Turn Technical Know-How into a Career in Sales

Technical Sales Engineer | Mechanical Engineering Graduates or Experienced CNC Machinists

Are you a mechanical engineering graduate ready to build a commercially focused career? Or an experienced CNC machinist looking to step off the tools and put your technical knowledge to work in a new way?

BDGT is opening the door to both.

We're looking for a Technical Sales Engineer who can understand what a customer needs, translate it into a practical engineering solution and work with our production team to bring it to life.

Why BDGT?

BDGT is one of Australia's leading CNC machining facilities, with more than 50 years of experience supporting the resources, packaging, construction and manufacturing sectors.

We produce precision-engineered parts, equipment and machinery components for customers across Australia and internationally. Our capabilities also include fully assembled and painted fabrications, equipment overhauls and refurbishment services.

This means you'll gain exposure to varied customers, complex challenges and interesting projects not the same job on repeat.

The Opportunity

Working closely with our Business Development Manager and Production Manager, you'll support projects from the initial customer enquiry through to delivery.

You’ll be involved in:

• Speaking with customers to understand their technical requirements
• Reviewing drawings, specifications and project scopes
• Preparing accurate quotes and responding to sales enquiries
• Sourcing materials and coordinating project requirements
• Scheduling work and monitoring project progress
• Building strong, long-term customer relationships
• Working with production to ensure solutions are practical and achievable

Who Could Be a Great Fit?

• A graduate mechanical engineer looking for hands-on industry exposure and a pathway into technical sales, project coordination and business development; or
• An experienced CNC machinist ready to step off the tools and use your practical knowledge to build a professional, customer-focused career.

Either way, you’ll need to be technically curious, confident communicating with different people and comfortable taking ownership of your work. You’ll ask good questions, follow through on commitments and enjoy finding practical solutions.

Previous sales experience would be helpful, but it isn’t essential. We’re more interested in your technical foundation, attitude and willingness to learn.

What’s in It for You?

This is an opportunity to develop well beyond a traditional engineering or machining role. You’ll build valuable experience across technical sales, quoting, customer management, production and project delivery, supported by an experienced team that wants to see you succeed.
