Technical Sales Engineer

A high‑performing manufacturer in the cutting‑tool sector is expanding its UK sales team and looking for a Technical Sales Engineer to cover the North West.
If you enjoy solving machining challenges, building long‑term customer relationships and being part of a genuinely collaborative culture, this is a role worth exploring.
As the Technical Sales Engineer for your region, you’ll be the face of a respected tooling brand — developing new business while strengthening relationships with an established customer base across aerospace, automotive, precision engineering and general manufacturing.
Your work will include:
* Growing your territory through targeted prospecting, networking and intelligent mapping of machining‑focused accounts.
* Winning new business by understanding customer challenges and presenting solutions that improve productivity, quality and cost‑per‑component.
* Developing existing accounts by introducing a wider portfolio of tooling and value‑added services.
* Delivering technical demonstrations, ROI discussions and hands‑on support that help customers make confident decisions.
* Working closely with internal teams to ensure seamless delivery, excellent service and accurate forecasting.
What you’ll bring
You don’t need to tick every box, but success in this role typically comes from people who have:
* Experience in technical sales, production engineering, tooling, or machining.
* A solid understanding of manufacturing processes and the realities of shop‑floor challenges.
* Confidence presenting technical concepts to both engineers and non‑technical stakeholders.
* A natural ability to build trust, nurture relationships and spot commercial opportunities.
* A resilient, solutions‑focused mindset with strong commercial awareness.
The culture
This is a company where people stay because they feel valued. The culture is built on:
* Honesty — clear communication and transparency.
* Respect — recognising the strengths and contributions of every team member.
* Humour — taking the work seriously, but not ourselves.
* Security — a stable, well‑run business that invests in its people.
* Excitement — innovation, new ideas and a genuine passion for engineering.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being out with customers, solving real machining problems, and representing a brand known for quality and reliability. If you want autonomy, strong earning potential and a supportive team behind you, you’ll thrive here
