What We're Looking For

• Previous B2B sales experience
• A good, stable employment history
• Strong customer relationship skills
• Confidence developing accounts and pursuing new business
• A proactive and self-motivated approach
• A genuine interest in learning technical products
• Engineering, manufacturing, technical sales or metrology experience would be advantageous

• Direct mentoring from the UK Sales Manager
• Product and technical training
• Training in Germany
