Job description

Consulo are supporting an internationally established manufacturer of advanced automation and mechatronic technology in the appointment of a Technical Sales Engineer to develop their presence across the Midlands.

This is a business operating at the forefront of industrial automation, supplying high-performance technologies used within robotic handling, automated production, assembly, machine building and advanced manufacturing applications.

Their portfolio spans:

• Robotic grippers and gripping systems
• End-of-arm tooling (EOAT)
• Clamping and braking technology
• Linear motion and handling systems
• Machine tooling and automation components
• Application-engineered mechatronic solutions

The Role

This is a technically led, customer-facing sales position working with OEMs, machine builders, system integrators and manufacturing organisations across the Midlands.

You will be responsible for developing new business, growing existing strategic accounts and identifying automation applications where the company's technology can improve productivity, reliability, precision and machine performance.

The role will involve working directly with engineers, designers, technical managers and decision-makers, understanding their application requirements and developing commercially viable technical solutions.

We are particularly interested in speaking with ambitious Technical Sales Engineers, Sales Engineers, Area Sales Managers and Business Development Managers currently working within:

• Industrial Automation
• Robotics
• Grippers / EOAT
• Pneumatics
• Mechatronics
• Linear Motion
• Motion Control
• Machine Building
• Factory Automation
• Handling Technology
• Special Purpose Machinery

This could be particularly attractive to a technically astute salesperson currently working for an OEM or automation technology manufacturer who wants greater ownership of a territory and the opportunity to represent a sophisticated engineering portfolio.

You don't need to know every product from day one.

What matters is that you understand engineered products, can hold credible technical conversations with customers, enjoy developing new business and have the commercial drive to turn applications into long-term accounts.

For someone ambitious, technically curious and commercially hungry, this represents an excellent opportunity to join a highly regarded international engineering organisation within one of the fastest-developing areas of industrial automation.
