Sales Engineer - Drives & Motion Product Specialist

I'm working with a well-established and respected distributor in the industrial automation and controls space. They're growing, they've got the backing of a major global group, and they're investing in the future.

They're now looking for two experienced Product Sales Specialists in Drives and Motion, one to cover the South West and another for the South East.

This isn't just a numbers game; it's about building technical solutions for your customers, not just pushing boxes. If you've got solid experience in Variable Speed Drives and Motion Control, and you're comfortable with field-based technical sales, this could be a great step.

What You'll Be Doing

• Growing the Drives & Motion side of the business in your region
• Supporting account managers and the wider sales team with technical expertise
• Identifying and developing new business across manufacturing and engineering customers
• Taking the lead on technical sales strategy within key accounts
• Delivering training, advice and joint customer visits with sales colleagues
• Keeping up with product development and maintaining your technical edge

What You'll Need

• Field sales experience in technical or engineering sectors
• Strong knowledge of VSDs (Variable Speed Drives) and Motion Control systems
• A technical qualification in electrical engineering (HNC/HND or similar)
• Excellent communication skills, able to translate technical benefits into business outcomes
• A proactive, consultative approach; this is all about adding value, not just selling

What's In It For You

• £52,000 basic salary
• £14,000 bonus made up of team target + regional target (so even if your patch is down, you can still earn, and vice versa)
• Strong benefits package including healthcare, pension, free shares, enhanced holidays, learning support, and more
• A people-first, planet-conscious culture backed by a major international group
• Real scope to grow, develop, and make your mark in a key technical area

If you're in the South West or South East of the Midlands and want to take ownership of a specialist technical sales role in a growing business, let's talk.
