Job description

Technical Field Sales Engineer - Aerospace & Defence

Home-Based / Field-Based | Northern England & Scotland

Competitive salary + bonus (£15-20K)

Benefits: Company EV, pension, Vitality healthcare, up to 5 weeks' holiday + Bank Holidays

Are you an engineer or technically minded sales professional looking to take the next step into external technical sales?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established engineering business specialising in cable harnesses, EWIS, electrical interconnect and electro-mechanical assemblies, supplying demanding customers across Aerospace, Defence, Space, Rail and advanced engineering.

You will take ownership of a largely undeveloped territory across Northern England and Scotland, identifying new customers, developing relationships and creating opportunities with leading engineering organisations.

The role

• Develop new customers and markets across your territory
• Meet engineering, procurement and commercial decision-makers
• Understand customer applications and technical requirements
• Develop opportunities from initial enquiry through quotation and negotiation
• Manage your pipeline and develop strategic customer relationships
• Work closely with experienced engineering and manufacturing teams
• Attend customer visits, exhibitions and industry events

Who are we looking for?

This could suit an Internal Sales Engineer, Applications Engineer, Sales Engineer, Technical Account Manager or technically minded customer-facing professional looking to move into external sales.

You will need a technical/engineering background, strong communication skills, commercial ambition and the confidence to build relationships with customers.

You don't need extensive field sales experience - you will receive product training and hands-on support from an experienced Sales Manager and engineering team as you develop.

Why join?

• Build your own territory rather than inherit an established patch
• Develop a career in technical sales and business development
• Work across exciting Aerospace, Defence and Rail markets
• Home-based flexibility with regular customer travel
• Strong technical and commercial support
• Genuine autonomy without a micromanagement culture
• Join an established business with a strong reputation for quality and reliability
• Excellent opportunity for long-term career progression as the territory grows

If you are technically credible, commercially ambitious and ready to build your career in external sales, we'd love to hear from you.
