Full-Time | Permanent Northamptonshire (NN8 Area)

Our client, a globally recognised engineering business supplying products and solutions to the Construction and Utilities sectors, is looking to recruit an ambitious Sales Engineer to join their growing team.

Following the successful appointment of a previous candidate into this position, our client is investing further in their sales division and is now seeking another motivated individual with the drive and determination to build a rewarding career in technical sales.

This opportunity would suit someone with sales experience, or an individual from an engineering, construction, technical, or customer-facing background who is looking to develop their commercial career. Attitude, ambition, and willingness to learn are valued just as highly as previous experience.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Senior Regional Sales Manager, you will receive comprehensive training across all aspects of the sales process and product portfolio. The successful candidate will be developed into a fully-pled Territory Sales Manager, with exceptional earning potential and genuine opportunities for career advancement.

While the role is primarily office-based, there will be occasional travel to customer sites across the South of the UK, making a full UK driving licence essential. A car allowance is provided, along with reimbursement of all business-related expenses.

Key Responsibilities

• Following up sales enquiries and generated leads
• Making outbound calls to identify and engage decision-makers
• Generating new business opportunities and developing customer relationships
• Assisting with the preparation of technical quotations and proposals
• Supporting the wider sales team in securing new contracts
• Attending customer meetings alongside experienced sales professionals
• Participating in virtual meetings with prospective clients
• Helping deliver professional sales presentations and customer pitches
• Learning technical product specifications and industry applications

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in sales, telesales, business development, customer service, engineering, or a related field would be beneficial
• Confident communicator capable of building relationships at all levels
• Driven, proactive and highly motivated with a strong desire to succeed
• Interest in engineering, construction, utilities or technical products
• Comfortable making outbound sales calls and generating opportunities
• Numerate with the ability to work with quotations and technical information (full training provided)
• Eager to develop a long-term career within a successful engineering sales environment
• Full UK Driving Licence

What’s in It for You?

This is a rare opportunity to join a market-leading engineering business that is genuinely committed to developing talent and investing in its people. With comprehensive training, strong management support, uncapped commission, and a clearly defined progression route, this role offers the chance to build a highly rewarding and lucrative career in engineering sales.
