CNC Tooling and Precision Capital Equipment
CNC Engineers : are you looking for a change in career?
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 theyre open to the right CNC professional stepping into sales.
What Youll 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.
Whats 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.
