Location: The successful candidate should live in Central Scotland with quick access to motorway networks.

The Company:

From putting the soles on your shoes, to the tarmac they walk on; from a packet of crisps to silicon chips; from wooden toothpicks to electric cars; you’d be amazed at the things we get involved in. We don’t do these things ourselves, of course, but we have worked with the people that do… to enable their efforts and dreams to be realised. Sometimes our role is significant; sometimes it’s small, but it’s never trivial and it’s always rewarding.

We provide automation and fluid control solutions for factory and laboratory applications. Our target sectors are automotive, food, beverage & packaging, and the life science sectors.

SMC Corporation UK Ltd is the wholly-owned subsidiary of SMC Corporation in Japan. The UK operation is located at a substantial 14-acre site in Milton Keynes, which houses our UK offices, design, factory, and warehousing.

SMC Corporation is the UK and global market leader in its field.

The Person:

We are looking for a certain type of person to join our Sales team.

If you sometimes wonder why others don’t always share your passion to get things done, you’ve got drive. We like that. If you don’t like losing at games, you sound competitive. We like that. If you can quickly strike a rapport with strangers, you sound engaging. We like that. If you’re always looking for a better way, you’re trying to grow. We like that.

If the above describes you, we’d like to talk to you!

The role:

Growing our business within Scotland's machine & device manufacturers sector by selling to senior management, supply chain, and engineers.

4. Identify and pursue new business opportunities and markets.
5. Maintain good working relationships with our distributor sales partners.
6. Maintain accurate records of sales activities using our CRM system.

Skills and Experience:

We’d prefer sales experience and an engineering-based technical qualification, but your attitude is more important to us. If you don’t have the experience but you still think you’ve got the drive, competitiveness, people skills, apply anyway, we’ll know.

What We Offer:

We give extensive sales, product & application training, both in classroom and in-field.

We are continuously working to make our team even more diverse and inclusive. We welcome applications from all and are committed to attracting, recruiting and retaining the most talented individuals. SMC has sustainable development goals as we believe in caring for our futures as well as the future of the planet.
