Overview:
Are you a technically minded sales professional who thrives on bespoke engineering solutions, complex bids, and building long-term client relationships?
This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering-led business where technical credibility, commercial awareness, and customer focus truly matter.
The Role:
- You’ll play a key role in driving sales growth by managing technical enquiries from initial concept through to quotation and contract handover.

- Calculate accurate costs and realistic delivery lead times to maximise profitability
- Clearly identify and communicate any deviations from customer specifications
- Attend bid clarification meetings and respond to technical and commercial queries
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors
- Develop a strong understanding of customers’ businesses, markets, and future projects
- Conduct contract reviews on successful orders and ensure clear handover to engineering and production
- Maintain well-organised enquiry and quotation records in line with internal procedures
- Support bid planning and prioritisation in the absence of the Sales Manager
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience in technical sales, proposals, bids, or applications engineering
- Strong mechanical engineering understanding (degree or equivalent experience)
- Proven experience quoting bespoke or non-standard engineered equipment
- Confident producing costings, lead times, and commercially sound proposals
- Comfortable liaising with customers at both technical and commercial levels
- Highly organised, detail-focused, and able to manage multiple enquiries simultaneously
- Commercially aware with a strong focus on margin and customer satisfaction
Why Apply?
- Work on challenging, bespoke engineering projects rather than catalogue sales

- Collaborate closely with engineering and production teams
- Join a business focused on quality, safety, and continuous improvement
- Play a visible role in driving growth and profitability
