This is a genuine opportunity to join at an exciting stage of the company's journey, where you'll have the autonomy to shape the role, influence future growth, and become a key part of the business.

If you're driven, commercially minded and passionate about engineering, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

You’ll Ideally Have

• Previous experience within CNC machining, manufacturing or precision engineering.
• Experience in technical sales, applications engineering, account management or business development, or a desire to move into a customer-facing sales role.
• A strong understanding of CNC machining processes.
• The ability to interpret engineering drawings.
• Excellent relationship-building and negotiation skills.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach.
• Full UK Driving Licence.

• £40,000 - £55,000 Basic Salary (DOE)
• Uncapped Commission Structure
• Potential Company Car or Car Allowance
• Pension Scheme
• Holiday Allowance plus Bank Holidays
• Laptop and Mobile Phone
• Ongoing Training and Product Development
• Genuine Career Progression
• The opportunity to help shape and grow a developing sales function
• A supportive management team that values initiative and new ideas

Why This Role?

This isn't just another Sales Engineer position.

It's an opportunity to join a growing engineering business where your ideas, relationships and results will genuinely make a difference. You'll have the freedom to build your own customer base, influence the direction of the role, and establish yourself as a key member of the team.
