A5 Recruitment is working exclusively with a long-established mechanical engineering and power transmission business based in Bradford to recruit a Technical Account Manager on a permanent basis.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced engineer who's ready to step away from the tools and into a customer-facing role — one where your technical knowledge becomes your biggest asset rather than your hands.
The Role
You'll be the face of the business to a portfolio of existing customers across the region. That means regular site visits to discuss requirements, collect and deliver work, and provide technical expertise on the spot. You'll complete enquiry forms, brief jobs into the production team and keep your customers updated throughout the process. You'll also be involved in weekly production meetings, feeding back on your accounts and any new developments.
No cold sales. No machining. Just building strong relationships and using your engineering background to have credible, technical conversations with engineers and buyers at customer sites.
What They're Looking For
* A strong mechanical engineering background — ideally time-served in turning, milling or CNC machining
* Experience taking technical details on-site (measurements, sketches, vernier use)
* Good people skills — confident, presentable and comfortable managing customer relationships
* Experience in power transmissions would be a real advantage
* Account management experience is a plus but not essential if the engineering background is strong
The Package
* £40,000–£45,000 depending on experience
* Monday–Thursday 07:30–16:00, Friday 07:30–15:00
* 33 days holiday including bank holidays
* Company pension (auto-enrolment)
* Permanent role — immediate start available
If you're an engineer looking for a change of direction without leaving your technical roots behind, we'd love to hear from you.
