Technical Sales Engineer – CNC Tooling & Precision Capital Equipment

You know what good machining looks like.

Youve probably stood at a machine at 10 pm fixing something that should have been right in the first place.

Now imagine being the person who prevents those problems.

We are recruiting for a Technical Sales Engineer to join a specialist capital equipment provider supplying precision tool presetting and inspection systems into high-end manufacturing environments.

This is consultative technical sales into serious engineering businesses.

And they're open to the right CNC professional stepping into sales.

• Visiting precision engineering and manufacturing companies across the UK
• Demonstrating high-spec machine tool presetting and inspection systems
• Advising customers on improving accuracy, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency
• Managing enquiries from initial discussion through to quotation and close
• Building long-term relationships with Production Managers, CNC Programmers and Directors
• Representing the company at trade shows and industry events

Youll need to understand machining properly. Customers will see through you if you dont.

• Background as a CNC Programmer / Setter / Operator
• Strong understanding of tooling and machining processes
• Commercial awareness or a genuine interest in moving into sales
• Confident communicator who can hold their own in a machine shop or boardroom
• Self-motivated and target-driven
• Willing to travel across the UK with occasional nights away
• Full UK driving licence

Sales experience is useful. It isnt essential.

Engineering credibility and drive matter more.

• Competitive basic salary
• Performance bonus
• Company vehicle
• Laptop and mobile
• Pension with company contribution
• Structured training and clear progression

This is a genuine opportunity to move from the shopfloor into a long-term technical sales career, without losing your engineering edge.

If youre good at what you do and you know youre capable of more, this is worth a conversation.
