Technical Sales Engineer

We are working with a well-established specialist manufacturing business to recruit a Technical Sales Engineer to join their small, close-knit team.

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.
