Technical Sales Engineer

Job description

Technical Sales Engineer – CNC / Tooling / Manufacturing

Derbyshire (Hybrid / Field-Based)

I’m currently working on a Technical Sales Engineer role with a client focused on improving efficiency within CNC manufacturing environments.

This is not a typical sales role. It’s a consultative position working with manufacturers to improve processes, reduce downtime and get more from their tooling.

You’ll be speaking with machinists, production teams and engineers day to day, so a strong understanding of how parts are made and how machines run is key.

The role

• Working with manufacturers to improve machining efficiency and reduce downtime
• Supporting customers with tooling, presetting and process optimisation
• Visiting customer sites and building long-term relationships
• Delivering a consultative, solution-led approach rather than product selling
• Managing a mix of existing accounts and new business

What they’re looking for

• Background in CNC machining, tooling, or manufacturing engineering
• OR experience in technical sales within machining / tooling environments
• Good understanding of shopfloor processes and production challenges
• Confident speaking with engineers and machinists
• Someone who enjoys solving problems and adding value

Why consider it

• Move into a more consultative, customer-facing role
• Stay close to engineering while building commercial experience
• Strong earning potential with bonus
• Hybrid working with field-based flexibility
