Trainee Sales Engineer

Trainee Sales Engineer Cowdenbeath, Scotland | £26,000–£28,000 | Permanent

Your technical qualification could take you much further than a traditional engineering role. Imagine developing genuine engineering expertise, working directly with customers, visiting live project sites and learning how to turn technical challenges into commercially successful solutions.

This is a rare opportunity to join an established UK engineering and manufacturing business that will train you from the ground up. You do not need previous sales experience.

Whether you're an engineering graduate, college leaver, CAD technician or already gaining practical experience within construction or manufacturing, this role offers a clear route into technical sales - with future progression into estimating, project management or business development.

What will you be doing? You'll work alongside experienced technical and commercial professionals, learning how to take a project from its initial enquiry through to quotation, order and installation.

Your responsibilities will include:

Speaking with customers to understand their technical and commercial requirements

Reviewing drawings, specifications and project information

Completing measurements, material take-offs and quantity calculations

Preparing accurate quotations and technical proposals

Following up opportunities and developing customer relationships

Supporting the external sales team with pricing and project information

Liaising with suppliers, contractors and internal installation teams

Producing or reviewing basic CAD drawings when required

Identifying new projects, customers and commercial opportunities

Attending customer meetings and site visits as your experience develops

Supporting projects from initial enquiry through to delivery and installation

You'll receive structured training in specialist engineered materials, technical applications, estimating, quotation processes and consultative sales.
