Personnel Selection are pleased to be working with this fantastic engineering business, who are looking for a Sales Engineer with real energy, enthusiasm and ambition to join a growing engineering business with an international customer base.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys understanding how things work, talking to customers and, importantly, winning business. You’ll combine a strong technical foundation with a natural commercial instinct.
The Opportunity
You’ll initially work alongside an experienced internal sales team, developing a detailed understanding of the company’s specialist engineering products, customers and markets. You’ll be involved in preparing quotations, developing technical proposals, responding to tenders and supporting live project opportunities.
With the support of the Sales Director and UK Sales Manager, you’ll be responsible for customer-facing sales, business development, account management and project activity and getting out in front of customers across the UK and, occasionally, overseas.
What We're Looking For
- A technical or engineering background
- Experience in technical sales and business development, or the drive to start your sales career utilising your existing engineering knowledge
- The ability to communicate technical information clearly and commercially
- Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills
- A proactive, organised and self-motivated approach
- The determination to identify opportunities and turn them into business
Most importantly, you'll have personality, enthusiasm and a willingness to get stuck in. We're looking for someone who enjoys meeting people, is curious about customers' challenges and has the tenacity to follow an opportunity through.
You could be working on a technical quotation in the morning, speaking to a customer about their requirements later that day and then preparing a proposal for an international project.
Travel is an important part of the role, so you'll need to be excited about getting out to see customers and being flexible when their requirements demand it.
If you have the ambition and ability, this could become the starting point for a long-term career in technical sales and business development within an engineering environment.
