• Field Sales Engineer


• Area Sales Engineer


• Technical Sales Engineer


• Business Development Engineer


• Internal Technical Sales Engineer looking to move into external sales


• Applications Engineer with regular customer visits


• Sales Engineer within industrial automation, motion control, mechanical power transmission or capital equipment

You will ideally possess:

• A qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering or similar


• Around 1-5 years' experience within an external or customer-facing technical sales role


• Experience managing customer accounts and developing new business opportunities


• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills


• A commercial mindset with strong technical credibility


• A proactive and self-motivated approach


• Full UK driving licence

What's In It For You?

• Opportunity to represent one of the world's leading engineering brands


• Comprehensive product and technical training


• Established customer base from day one


• Genuine long-term career progression


• Excellent support from experienced engineering and sales teams


• Highly respected products recognised for engineering excellence worldwide

This represents an outstanding opportunity for someone who has already begun the journey within technical sales and is looking to join a premium engineering manufacturer where they can build a long-term career.
