Technical Sales Engineer

Technical Sales Engineer

If you love engineering but get your real buzz from talking to people about it — this one’s for you.

This is a role for someone who knows their way around tooling, manufacturing, and technical solutions but also enjoys getting out there, spotting opportunities, and helping customers solve problems before they even know they have them.

It’s a balance of technical brains and commercial instinct — the kind of role where you’ll be designing, quoting, problem-solving, and building genuine partnerships all in one day.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Strengthening relationships with existing customers and distribution partners

• Visiting end users to understand their processes and challenges, then recommending smart technical solutions

• Generating and converting new business opportunities — the rewarding, not the pushy kind

• Designing and developing manufacturing tools (jigs, fixtures, dies) and creating precise CAD drawings

• Preparing accurate, commercially sound quotations for tooling, components, and assemblies

• Working closely with engineering, production, and quality teams to make sure everything runs like clockwork

• Keeping CRM records up to date and providing clear sales forecasts and reports

• Monitoring suppliers to ensure cost, quality, and delivery targets are hit

What You’ll Need

• A background or qualification in Engineering, Manufacturing, or similar

• Experience in a technical, commercial, or sales role within manufacturing or engineering

• A strong understanding of cutting tool technology and how manufacturing processes fit together

• Great communication skills — someone who listens first, speaks with clarity, and builds trust quickly

• A head for numbers and cost estimation

• A proactive approach and genuine curiosity about how things are made

• Willingness to travel to customers and sites when needed

What You Might Not Like

• This isn’t a desk-only role — you’ll be on the move, meeting people, and getting hands-on.

• It’s technical, so if CAD drawings, tooling specs, or manufacturing jargon make you glaze over, this probably isn’t for you.

• There’s accountability — forecasts, reports, and real results matter here.
