Technical Sales Engineer
Why Join?
This is a rare opportunity to join a small specialist manufacturing business where your contribution will have a genuine impact.
The company offers:
* £40,000 - £45,000 basic salary
* Car allowance
* Discretionary profit share
* Monday to Thursday working week
* A high level of autonomy
* The opportunity to develop existing accounts while winning new business
* The chance to become a key part of a specialist business
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically minded sales professional who enjoys understanding customer requirements, working with technical specifications and drawings, and building strong commercial relationships.
The business specialises in the manufacture of cold-drawn copper tube and operates within the non-ferrous metals sector.
The Role
This is a varied technical sales position combining new business development with existing account management. The role can be field-based, with the focus firmly on winning and developing business rather than being office-based.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Developing new business opportunities and growing existing customer accounts
* Building and maintaining strong, long-term customer relationships
* Understanding customer requirements, technical specifications and engineering drawings
* Providing technically credible solutions to customers
* Preparing and understanding product costings and commercial structures
* Identifying opportunities for account growth and development
* Visiting customers and prospects as required
* Working closely with the internal team to ensure customer requirements are delivered
* Supporting the continued growth of the business
About You
We are looking for someone with a technical sales background who can confidently understand specifications, drawings and technical products.
You may already be working in technical sales, engineering sales, manufacturing sales or a related technical commercial role.
You will ideally have:
* Experience in technical sales or a technically focused commercial role
* The ability to read and understand technical drawings/specifications
* An understanding of product costing and commercial structures
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills
* A proactive approach to new business development
* The confidence to work independently in a field-based environment
* A genuine interest in understanding the technical side of the products you sell
Experience with copper, brass, copper-nickel, non-ferrous metals or yellow metals would be advantageous, but is not essential as full product and industry knowledge can be developed.
If you are a technically minded salesperson looking for a role where you can combine technical understanding, customer relationships and commercial development, we'd love to hear from you.
