Job description

CS 33787

Technical Sales Engineer

Up to £40,000

Doncaster

Are you a hydraulics professional who enjoys solving problems, working with customers and finding the right technical solution?

If you're looking for a role where your hydraulic knowledge is genuinely valued - and where no two customer requirements are the same - this could be an excellent opportunity to develop your career.

We're looking for a Hydraulic Technical Sales Engineer to join a technically driven team, supporting customers and the external sales team with everything from individual hydraulic components to complete system solutions.

What will you be doing?

This is a varied role combining technical knowledge, customer support and commercial awareness.

You'll become a key point of contact for customers, understanding their requirements and using your hydraulic expertise to recommend the right products and solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing technical sales support to customers and the external sales team
• Understanding customer requirements and recommending suitable hydraulic solutions
• Preparing accurate quotations and managing enquiries through to order
• Advising customers on hydraulic components and product selection
• Working on projects ranging from individual components to larger hydraulic system applications
• Building strong, long-term customer relationships
• Providing technical and after-sales support
• Working closely with engineering, sales and operations teams to deliver the right solutions

The variety is a major part of the appeal. One day you could be helping a customer select a specific hydraulic component; the next, you could be working through the requirements of a much larger hydraulic application.

What are we looking for?

You don't need to be a traditional salesperson.

We're looking for someone with genuine hydraulic knowledge who enjoys dealing with customers and has the ability to turn technical requirements into practical solutions.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience within the hydraulics industry
• Good knowledge of hydraulic components and systems
• A Mechanical Engineering qualification such as HNC, HND or equivalent (preferred)
• The ability to understand technical information and apply it practically
• Strong communication and customer relationship skills
• Good organisation and the ability to manage multiple enquiries and priorities
• A proactive, positive and professional approach
• The confidence to work independently while contributing to a wider team
• A genuine desire to learn, develop and build your technical and commercial skills

What's in it for you?

You'll receive:

• Competitive salary
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Company pension scheme
• 21 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Additional holiday entitlement for each year of service - up to 5 extra days
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Semi-flexible working hours to make commuting easier

The opportunity to work with industry-leading hydraulic products, customers and technologies
