Our Client, a market leader in civils products, is a well-established business that is doing exceptionally well and has exciting further expansion plans.

Our client requires a Technical Sales Engineer to work out of their offices in the East Midlands region. The Head Office is based in the East Midlands, from where you would ideally be based each day or in a hybrid working model. You will also be working within National Accounts and projects throughout the UK, so National travel will also be required.

As a Technical Sales Engineer, you will be fully versed in the construction process from start to finish and be able to communicate well with the relevant department heads to accommodate the needs of the client for each individual project.

You will be expected to build up a rapport with the decision-makers and technical department heads to ensure the specification is protected, the project confirmed, and the order processed and installed. This will be an ongoing process and an essential attribute for the position.

We need to find a commercially minded salesperson or civil engineer from the civils sector who understands construction, a construction site, the construction process, the construction sales process from specification to order, and who understands the civils market.

You may be an Engineer looking to move into a more commercial role and get out on site. You may be a Specification salesperson looking to move into a more Technical Sales role. You may be a National Account Manager or Key Account Manager within Civils looking for a move.

The Technical Sales Engineer / National Account Manager / Key Accounts Manager will ideally come from a civils background; however, the company will accept applications from anyone of a 'technical construction' or 'construction sales' background. Experience within the construction industry in general is a necessity.

The Technical Sales Engineer will have the following attributes/knowledge with respect to the construction industry and the role:

1. Overview of the construction process at the various stages
2. Technical knowledge of certain products required at certain stages of the construction process
3. Awareness that the client objective may be cost reduction, environmental, longevity, and how to approach each objective individually
4. Identification of key influences and people of interest in any project
5. Best route to market for the project
6. How to finalize specifications and then protect them
7. A personable demeanor, especially with clients
8. A team-oriented outlook

As the company looks to double revenue within this Technical team, they see this as a great opportunity for someone to become a senior part of the business and lead a growing department.

They offer the following to all of its employees, by way of keeping hold of the right people:

1. 6 month induction, to include full product training with qualified engineers
2. All-round 12 month training programme
3. A team-oriented atmosphere, with full support network should you require any additional support or training
4. Private healthcare plan
5. 25 days Holidays plus Bank Holidays as standard
6. Company vehicle / Car Allowance
7. Performance bonus, up to 10% of salary as a profit share initiative
8. Various team building days paid for by the company
