Due to continued growth and strategic expansion, we are now seeking a Technical Sales Engineer to manage and develop a highly established customer portfolio across the East Midlands and surrounding regions.
This is not a transactional sales role.

• Aerospace & Defence
• Renewable Energy
• Semiconductor & Electronics Manufacturing
• Special Purpose Machinery
• Advanced Manufacturing & Precision Engineering
The Opportunity

The successful candidate will inherit a portfolio of established OEM accounts whilst also identifying and developing new business opportunities through a solutions-based, consultative sales approach.
You will work closely with design engineers, production teams, R&D departments and procurement functions to understand applications, improve performance and deliver technically superior solutions.
This role would suit someone who enjoys being in front of customers, discussing applications, interpreting engineering challenges and adding genuine technical value rather than simply “selling products”.
