Graduate sales engineer
This well known manufacturer of bespoke mechanical assembly systems has a large established customer base in the UK manufacturing sector.
They wish to appoint a graduate trainee sales engineer to manage and grow an existing customer base in the Birmingham and Midlands area.
The sales territory includes Llandudno, Cheshire, Chester, Crewe, Stafford,Telford, Shrewsbury,Wolverhampton, Walsall,Derby,Leicester, Coventry and Birmingham our ideal candidate will be living in one of these locations.
The location of role will be home/ field based where you will be travelling to customer sites on most days of the week and or working from home on the remainder.
Full training will be given Drivers Licence is essential.
Our ideal candidate will be a self starting mechanically oriented graduate engineer who is interested in business and people and wants to build a career in business to business sales.
No sales experience is needed however based on the profiles of people who have been successful with this company (they have been training graduate engineers for this role for over 10 years) it is quite likely that you have worked in a customer facing role or sales already.
The role is focused on developing a group of existing customers. These customers span a range of manufacturing vertical markets which include Automotive, Aerospace and white goods manufacturers and a number of others besides- many of these engineering businesses are household names and your customers are their senior people working in their Manufacturing/Engineering management, Business management, Purchasing areas.
Each sales project is specifically tailored to the customers requirement and every project is different. So you will never sell the same thing twice. For this reason we seek someone who has a good understanding of mechanical engineering.
You won’t be designing the solution – that is done by a separate team however you will be responsible for developing the technical specification with the customer and for managing each project on the customer side from project origination through to delivery.
As an engineer you will know what questions to ask in order to build a detailed profile of each customer requirement and hopefully ,make useful inputs towards a solution which will win the customer’s order.
The sales process is intrinsically consultative in nature so we are not seeking an aggressive pushy style of trainee but rather someone who is able to build strong, long last lasting, credible relationships founded on trust and the practicality of creating the best option for the customer.
If you have enjoyed your engineering Degree but perhaps see yourself prospering in a people facing role on the business side of an Engineering company then this opportunity may be for you.
