CNC Tooling & 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 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.
