Aerospace & Automotive | Technical Sales | Excellent Career Opportunity

Are you a hands-on engineer who understands machining, tooling and manufacturing processes and would like to take your career in a more commercial direction?

Or perhaps you're already selling industrial consumables, cutting tools, tooling or engineering products and are looking for a technically focused role working with some of the UK's most well known manufacturing customers?

Either way, we'd love to hear from you.

We're looking for a Technical Sales Engineer to develop relationships and provide cutting-tool solutions to customers across the aerospace and automotive sectors.

This is a genuinely consultative role. You'll be working closely with production and manufacturing teams to understand machining challenges, identify opportunities to improve productivity and recommend the right tooling solutions.

The Role

You'll become a technical expert on the company's cutting-tool range and work directly with customers to:

Identify new business opportunities and develop existing accounts

Visit customers on-site to understand their machining and production requirements

Work with production, manufacturing and engineering teams to identify tooling challenges

Recommend technically appropriate cutting-tool solutions

Carry out trials and support customers with tooling implementation

Demonstrate how tooling solutions can improve productivity, tool life, cycle times and overall manufacturing efficiency

Provide technical advice and troubleshooting support

Prepare quotations and follow opportunities through to completion

Work closely with internal technical and engineering teams

Build long-term relationships rather than simply selling a product

CNC Programmer

Machinist with strong technical knowledge

Process Engineer

If you understand machining, cutting processes, tooling and manufacturing environments, and you're confident dealing with engineers and production teams, we'll consider you.

You don't necessarily need previous sales experience — technical knowledge, commercial curiosity and the personality to build relationships are more important.

What You'll Need

We're looking for someone who is

Technically strong with a good understanding of machining/manufacturing

Comfortable talking to engineers, production managers and senior manufacturing professionals

Naturally curious and interested in solving technical problems

Commercially minded and motivated by achieving results

Confident working independently with customers

Practical and hands-on in their approach

A good communicator with strong relationship-building skills

What's On Offer?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a technically driven business where your engineering knowledge is genuinely valued.

You'll receive full product and sales training, with the opportunity to develop your technical and commercial skills while working with some of the UK's leading aerospace and automotive manufacturers.

If you're an engineer who has thought about moving into sales but haven't found the right opportunity, this could be the role you've been waiting for.

Experienced technical sales professionals and hands-on engineers are equally encouraged to apply.
