Overall Summary

Autoflame Engineering is the world leader in combustion management and control systems, renowned for quality and innovation, and based in Biggin Hill, Kent. Due to sustained growth and increasing demand for energy‑efficient solutions, we are seeking graduates or trainees to join our Technical Sales division. The successful candidate will have a strong background in electrical, mechanical, or process engineering. We're looking for someone who is an excellent communicator and confident in providing technical support to our global customer base.

Nature of Supervision

The Graduate Technical Sales Engineer will work directly under the supervision of the Technical Account Manager, receiving guidance and mentorship on sales strategies, client engagement, and technical support. While initial tasks will be closely managed to support training and development, the role is expected to become increasingly autonomous over time. The successful candidate should demonstrate initiative, take accountability, and be capable of working independently—particularly when travelling internationally or representing the company at client meetings and industry events.

Eligibility

To be considered, candidates must have the legal right to live and work in the UK, hold a full UK driving licence, and a valid UK passport with the right to work in the UK. The company does not offer sponsorship.

Communication and Influence

This role requires excellent communication skills to effectively convey complex technical information to both technical and non‑technical audiences. The Graduate Technical Sales Engineer must build strong working relationships with internal teams, including engineering, production, and senior sales management, to ensure customer requirements are fully understood and delivered. Externally, the role demands confident communication with international clients, distributors, and stakeholders—often across diverse cultures and business environments. The ability to listen actively, present tailored solutions, and influence purchasing decisions is essential.

Organisational Impact

As a key support to the Technical Account Manager, the Graduate Technical Sales Engineer plays a crucial role in driving the company's international growth. By providing technical expertise, nurturing client relationships, and contributing to the successful acquisition and retention of global customers, the role directly supports sales growth and market expansion.
