Technical Sales Engineer

Full-Time | Engineering / Sales | Career-Progression Role

If you’re the kind of person who can walk onto a shopfloor, look at a part, and instantly know which cutter, machine setup, or approach you’d use to make it happen — but you’re now craving something more commercial, more people-facing, and more strategic — this could be the role that finally lets you step up.

We’re looking for someone with hands-on manufacturing experience (CNC machining, jigs/fixtures, reading drawings, feeds & speeds, problem-solving on the fly) who also enjoys talking to customers, helping them solve challenges, and guiding them toward better manufacturing results.

If you’ve completed an apprenticeship or spent the last few years operating machines and now want a path into sales, applications support, or technical consultancy — this is your next move.

The Role

You’ll become the go-to technical problem-solver for customers looking to improve the way they manufacture their parts. You’ll:

• Build strong relationships with machinists, engineers, production teams & buyers

• Understand customer drawings, methods of manufacture, and machining challenges

• Recommend the right approach to help them hit tolerances, cycle times, and quality targets

• Generate and convert new business opportunities

• Work closely with distribution partners and end users

• Create accurate quotations for components and assemblies

• Collaborate with engineering, production, and quality teams on project delivery

• Support with design work (jigs, fixtures, dies) and CAD drawings — full training provided

This is a role for someone who gets manufacturing and wants to use that knowledge in a more commercial, higher-impact position.

Who This Is Perfect For

Someone who’s thinking:

“I still want to use my engineering brain — just not stood at a machine all day.”

You’ll thrive if you are:

• Apprenticeship-trained OR experienced on a machining shopfloor

• Confident understanding how a part is made, start to finish

• Able to interpret engineering drawings and spot potential issues

• Comfortable explaining technical things in a clear, human way

• Curious, solutions-focused, and commercially aware

• Confident with customers at all levels

• Happy travelling to different sites

• Ready for a career progression route into sales, applications, or engineering consultancy

This isn’t about cold calling — it’s about solving real manufacturing problems.

What You Get

• A genuine development pathway into technical sales

• Training in CAD, design, customer development, and commercial work

• A supportive, engineering-led team that wants you to grow

• Competitive salary + company car + real long-term progression

What To Do Next

If you’re ready to move off the machines but keep your technical edge — and you want a role where your manufacturing knowledge actually matters — hit apply. This is the step up you’ve been waiting for.
