Our client, a leading engineering solutions provider based in Cirencester, is seeking a Sales Engineer to join their growing team. This role is engineering-first, focused on technical application support, solution development, and system understanding, with sales activity built around providing the right technical answer rather than high-pressure selling.

* Work collaboratively with design, systems, and applications engineers to develop bespoke or application-specific solutions.
* Analyse customer requirements, drawings, and specifications to resolve technical queries or discrepancies.
* Maintain and develop deep knowledge of product capabilities, technical limitations, and industry applications.
* Support Area Sales Managers during customer meetings, site visits, and demonstrations by providing engineering insight and technical credibility.
* Identify opportunities where alternative designs, system improvements, or new component developments (NCD) can add value to customer applications.
* Produce and maintain accurate technical documentation and project data within CRM systems.
* Share technical learnings, successful applications, and field feedback to improve products and internal processes.
Key Experience & Qualifications – Sales Engineer
* Apprenticeship, HNC/HND, or degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
* Experience or strong interest in process automation, control systems, industrial equipment, or engineered solutions.
* Comfortable interpreting technical drawings, specifications, and engineering documentation.
* Previous experience in a technical sales, applications engineering, or customer-facing engineering role is desirable.
* Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both engineers and non-engineers.
* Organised, detail-focused, and technically curious, with a practical, solutions-driven mindset.
Benefits – Sales Engineer
* Hybrid working: 3 days office / 2 days remote (Wednesday office mandatory).
* Company pension scheme starting at 8%.
* 33 days annual leave including bank holidays.
* Death in Service benefit (4x salary). xsngvjr
