Why This Role Stands Out:

1. Generous Annual Leave: Enjoy 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with a portion reserved for a Christmas shutdown period. This year, only 3 days are required for the festive break.
2. Flexible Working Hours: Benefit from a favourable schedule, working Monday to Thursday from 8am to 4.30pm, and Fridays from 8am to 2pm.
3. Comprehensive Benefits Package: Including a 5% personal and 3% company pension contribution via Nest, and a Death in Service benefit of 3x your annual salary.

As Technical Sales Engineer reporting into the Sales Manager you will be part of a small sales team of 3.
