You know what good machining looks like.

You understand tooling. Runout. Offsets. Scrap rates. Downtime.
Youve probably stood at a machine at 10 pm fixing something that should have been right in the first place.

Now imagine being the person who prevents those problems.

We are recruiting for a Technical Sales Engineer to join a specialist capital equipment provider supplying precision tool presetting and inspection systems into high-end manufacturing environments.

This isnt box-shifting.
This is consultative technical sales into serious engineering businesses.

And they're open to the right CNC professional stepping into sales.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Visiting precision engineering and manufacturing companies across the UK
  • Demonstrating high-spec machine tool presetting and inspection systems
  • Advising customers on improving accuracy, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency
  • Managing enquiries from initial discussion through to quotation and close
  • Building long-term relationships with Production Managers, CNC Programmers and Directors
  • Representing the company at trade shows and industry events

Youll need to understand machining properly. Customers will see through you if you dont.

What Theyre Looking For
  • Background as a CNC Programmer / Setter / Operator
  • Strong understanding of tooling and machining processes
  • Commercial awareness or a genuine interest in moving into sales
  • Confident communicator who can hold their own in a machine shop or boardroom
  • Self-motivated and target-driven
  • Willing to travel across the UK with occasional nights away
  • Full UK driving licence

Sales experience is useful. It isnt essential.

Engineering credibility and drive matter more.

What's On Offer
  • Competitive basic salary
  • Performance bonus
  • Company vehicle
  • Laptop and mobile
  • Pension with company contribution
  • Structured training and clear progression

This is a genuine opportunity to move from the shopfloor into a long-term technical sales career, without losing your engineering edge.

If youre good at what you do and you know youre capable of more, this is worth a conversation.
