The Role
As Regional Sales Engineer, you will be responsible for managing and developing a defined territory, building long-term relationships and driving growth across both existing accounts and new business.

* Attending exhibitions, networking events and customer visits
You’ll be expected to manage your territory effectively, with a target of regular customer visits and strong pipeline activity.
What They’re Looking For
This role would suit someone with a background in technical sales within engineering or automation, particularly within sensors, controls, or related technologies.
Key requirements:
* Experience in a technical sales or sales engineering role
* Strong understanding of OEMs, system integrators and manufacturing environments
* Ability to sell consultatively and build long-term relationships
* Comfortable demonstrating technical products and solutions
* Strong communication and negotiation skills
* Well organised with good time management

* Life assurance
* Strong internal support and development structure
Why This Role?
This is a good fit for someone who wants to:
* Move into a more solution-led technical sales role
* Work for a market-leading automation business
* Take ownership of a well-defined territory
* Build long-term relationships rather than transactional sales
