Technical Sales Engineer

Our client is a long-established, globally respected engineering business that designs and manufactures high-speed machinery for the metal packaging industry. Operating from their Shipley site, they supply and support sophisticated equipment used by manufacturers across the world - and thanks to sustained demand, they're now growing their Sales Support team.

This is a newly created role, born out of a genuine increase in workload - always a good sign of a business heading in the right direction. You'll join a close-knit team of five, working at the point where engineering meets commercial: preparing quotations for machine upgrades and conversions, and supporting the spare parts quotation process that keeps their customers' equipment running.

If you're a technically-minded engineer who enjoys the variety of customer contact, problem-solving and quoting - and you like the idea of seeing where your work takes you (sometimes literally) - this could be a brilliant next step.

What you'll be doing

* Preparing timely, accurate quotations for machine upgrades, conversions and spare parts

* Acting as a key technical point of contact for customers, both pre- and post-sale

* Gathering the right technical information early in the sales process and working with Engineering to close any gaps

* Reading and interpreting engineering drawings to build and support quotations

* Helping maintain a spares overhaul database the sales team can package and sell

* Identifying upgrade and enhancement opportunities as commercial products

* Attending technical review meetings, carrying out machine audits and organising post-sales visits

What we're looking for

* A strong technical background - the client is open to candidates from various engineering/technical subsectors - full product training will be provided

* Technical sales experience is desirable, though a solid grounding in engineering with the appetite to move into a commercial-facing role will be considered

* The confidence to communicate clearly and credibly at all levels, with customers and internal teams alike

* The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings to generate quotations

* Comfortable working independently and as part of a small team, with the discipline to prioritise your own workload

* Genuine flexibility around travel - this role involves up to 50 days of international travel a year, including some at short notice, so a willingness to be on the road (and in the air) is essential

The package

* Circa £55,000 basic salary

* Annual bonus of up to 15%

* BUPA private healthcare

* Health cash plan

* Enhanced pension scheme

* Life assurance scheme

* Flexible start and finish times

* 33 days' annual leave

This is a rare chance to join a market-leading engineering business in a role you can shape, with real variety, international exposure and a package to match. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
