An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a rapidly growing engineering business specialising in industrial vibration technology and material handling solutions.

This is a varied opportunity suited to someone with an engineering or technical background who is interested in developing their career within a more commercially focused role.

You will gain exposure to technical sales, customer relationships and business development, alongside supporting the day-to-day running of the office with general administrative duties. The role offers plenty of variety, with full training and support provided to help you develop your technical and commercial knowledge.

Previous sales experience is not essential. The company is more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn and the motivation to develop within the business.

The Role

• Support existing customer relationships and assist with general customer enquiries.
• Help identify new business opportunities and develop an understanding of the sales process.
• Attend customer visits and site surveys, gaining knowledge of products and technical applications.
• Assist with preparing quotations, processing orders and following up on customer enquiries.
• Provide technical information and support to customers, with training provided.
• Carry out general office administration, including answering calls, responding to emails, updating records and processing paperwork.
• Support the wider team with day-to-day operational and administrative tasks.
• Work closely with colleagues across the business to ensure a high level of customer service.
• Gradually take on more responsibility for customer accounts and sales activities as your knowledge develops.

The Candidate

We are particularly interested in speaking with:

• Engineers looking to move into a more commercial or customer-facing position.
• Mechanical or electrical engineering graduates looking to develop their careers.
• Technically minded individuals interested in learning about sales and business development.
• Candidates with experience in engineering, manufacturing, maintenance or industrial environments.
• Individuals with some office administration or customer service experience, although this is not essential.

You will ideally have:

• A technical, engineering or mechanical background, although this is not essential.
• Good communication and organisational skills.
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn new skills.
• A proactive approach and the ability to use your own initiative.
• Good IT skills and confidence using Microsoft Office.
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• A full UK driving licence.

Importantly, previous sales experience is not required. Full training will be provided, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take their first steps into technical sales.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary of £30,000 – £45,000.
• Performance-related bonus scheme.
• Company vehicle.
• Mobile phone and laptop.
• 28 days annual leave.
• Comprehensive product and industry training.
• Ongoing support and development.
• Genuine opportunities for career progression.
• A varied role offering a mixture of engineering, customer interaction, sales and office responsibilities.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with an engineering or technical background who is looking for something different. If you're motivated, organised and keen to learn, this role offers the chance to develop new skills, gain commercial experience and build a long-term career within a growing engineering business.
