Technical Sales Engineer

I am working with a great client to find a Technical Sales Engineer to maximise sales and provide continuous support to existing and new customers in the Eastern part of the UK. You will be dealing with direct clients and distributors to increase the company’s market share and therefore profitability.

This role reports into the UK sales manager and is home / field based. You will visit end clients and distributors to promote the company’s range of cutting tooling. You will leverage your relationships to increase sales and coverage in the region.

The sales engineer will be generating leads and prospecting as well as managing the current clients. This is definitely a role for a hunter salesperson rather than someone who wants to manage current accounts, although that is part of the role.

2. Actively and efficiently following up on all leads and enquiries within the region.

8. Self-organised, time management plus a positive and optimistic outlook.

We are looking for candidates that are from an engineering background, ideally with CNC CAD/CAM programming ability.

The role comes with everything required to succeed in the role: car, laptop, phone, etc., and has a strong benefits package.

This is an exciting position to join a thriving company with a global presence to develop an existing territory offering major growth potential.
