We’re flexible on experience and will shape this role around the right person’s skills, knowledge and potential. You don’t need to arrive with experience in every aspect of the job. Your responsibilities and level of technical involvement will reflect your strengths, with scope to develop as your experience grows.

• Working with engineers and suppliers to develop suitable solutions.

• Helping identify new business opportunities and supporting customer visits and exhibitions.

What we’re looking for

• Clear communication skills and a helpful, customer-focused approach.
• An interest in engineering, technical problem-solving and sales.
• Good organisation, attention to detail and a proactive attitude.
• A willingness to learn and work collaboratively.

Experience in valves, actuators, engineering or technical sales would be useful, but we welcome applicants with transferable skills. Whether your strengths are technical, commercial or a mix of both, we’re open to discussing how the role could work for you.
