What's Available To You

• 25 Days Annual Leave, rising with service + Bank Holidays

What You Will Do As A Technical Sales Engineer

Working closely with customers and the Project Management team, youll identify, price and deliver AV and technical installation projects typically valued between £2,000 and £100,000.

This could suit someone already combining technical and commercial responsibilities, or an experienced Installation Engineer / Lead Engineer looking to progress into client relationships, site surveys, solution development, estimating and pricing.

Youll be an effective communicator with commercial ability, comfortable discussing technical requirements with customers and developing practical solutions that can be delivered successfully and profitably.
