Our client, a globally recognised engineering business supplying products and solutions to the Construction and Utilities sectors, is looking to recruit an ambitious Sales Engineer to join their growing team.

Following the successful appointment of a previous candidate into this position, our client is investing further in their sales division and is now seeking another motivated individual with the drive and determination to build a rewarding career in technical sales.

This opportunity would suit someone with sales experience, or an individual from an engineering, construction, technical, or customer-facing background who is looking to develop their commercial career. Attitude, ambition, and willingness to learn are valued just as highly as previous experience.

Reporting directly to the Senior Regional Sales Manager, you will receive comprehensive training across all aspects of the sales process and product portfolio. The successful candidate will be developed into a fully-fledged Territory Sales Manager, with exceptional earning potential and genuine opportunities for career advancement.

While the role is primarily office-based, there will be occasional travel to customer sites across the South of the UK, making a full UK driving licence essential. A car allowance is provided, along with reimbursement of all business-related expenses.

Confident communicator capable of building relationships at all levels
Driven, proactive and highly motivated with a strong desire to succeed
