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 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
