Engineering
I am working with a market leading company to recruit a sales engineer to manage their South West Territory. You will be dealing with direct clients and distributors to maximise the company’s market share and therefore profitability.
The main purpose of the role is to talk to customers about their machinery tooling and build relationships so they use the companies tooling on an ongoing basis. The sales engineer will also build relationships with tooling distributors to try and increase market share that way. You will need to have a background in technical precision engineering preferably with machine tooling, and combined with a strong sales background will put you in a strong position.
The sales engineer will be generating leads and prospecting as well as managing the current clients, this is definitely a role for “hunter” salesperson rather than someone who wants to manages current accounts, although that is part of the role.
