Job Description
CNC Sales Manager – Precision Engineering & Manufacturing Technology
Milton Keynes | £60K–£70K Basic + Uncapped Bonus | Office-Based
This is not a standard sales management role.
We’re recruiting for a commercially driven leader to help shape the next phase of growth for a specialist engineering business supplying high-precision CNC technology into advanced manufacturing sectors across the UK.
The business has built an outstanding technical reputation over many years and is now looking for someone who can bring greater structure, ownership, commercial momentum, and customer focus to the CNC division.
You’ll lead from the front - developing customers, supporting the team, managing key relationships, improving processes, and helping drive sales growth across both existing and new markets.
This role would suit someone who enjoys the challenge of building, improving, and leading, not just maintaining.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Managing and developing key customer relationships across UK manufacturing sectors
* Driving new business activity and identifying growth opportunities
* Leading the sales process from enquiry through to quotation, demonstration, negotiation, and close
* Supporting customer demonstrations at the Milton Keynes showroom
* Working closely with applications and service teams to ensure excellent customer experience
* Taking ownership of customer escalations and ensuring issues are managed professionally
* Bringing greater structure, accountability, and momentum to the CNC division
* Supporting marketing and sector growth initiatives alongside the leadership team
What We’re Looking For
You may currently be:
* a Sales Manager
* Commercial Manager
* Technical Sales Manager
* Business Development Manager
* Engineering Manager
* Applications / Sales Engineer with leadership capability
Most importantly, you’ll understand how to:
* manage customers confidently
* lead conversations commercially
* motivate and coordinate people
* take ownership
* and create momentum within a technical environment
Experience within CNC, manufacturing technology, capital equipment, precision engineering, automation, or technical industrial products would all be highly relevant.
You do not need to know every technical detail on day one - but you must be technically credible, commercially strong, and comfortable operating within an engineering-led business.
What’s In It For You?
£60K–£70K basic salary DOE
Uncapped bonus structure
High-value, consultative sales environment
Modern customer showroom and technical facilities
Long-term progression opportunity
Highly specialist engineering sector
Small, collaborative leadership team
Chance to genuinely influence and shape a growing division
