About the Role
My client is seeking a Sales Engineer who will grow into a pivotal role that bridges technical expertise with customer needs.

While not all skills are required upfront, the role will ultimately include the following responsibilities:
Project Estimation: Leveraging knowledge of industrial automation to assess technical feasibility, budget requirements, and project complexity.
Technical Sales: Analyzing customers' automation needs and devising tailored solutions.
Networking & Relationship Management: Building strong relationships with new and existing customers, and presenting well-founded proposals.
Quotations & Negotiations: Creating commercial proposals and managing the sales process from initial contact through to closing.
Team Collaboration: Coordinating closely with engineering teams to ensure smooth handovers and remaining involved as the commercial point of contact throughout project execution.
What My Client Offers
A dynamic sales position combining technical knowledge with commercial strategy.
The opportunity to work on cutting-edge industrial automation projects.
Coaching and support from experienced managers and a collaborative team environment.
A competitive salary package including a company car, fuel card, mobile phone, laptop, and meal vouchers.
Flexible working hours (39-hour week) with an emphasis on work-life balance, including the option to work remotely.
Up to 6k gross per month (dependent on experience) + a generous commission structure and bonuses.
Ongoing training and career growth opportunities within a stable and supportive organization.
A collegial and informal workplace culture with regular team activities.
What My Client Is Looking For
A bachelor’s or master’s degree in a technical field, ideally with a focus on automation.
Hands-on experience as an automation engineer, with the ability to understand and assess industrial processes.
Strong communication skills and a customer-oriented, solution-focused mindset.
A consultative approach—someone who convinces with technical knowledge rather than sales tactics.
Familiarity with CRM systems and MS Office is a plus.
A valid category B driving license, as travel is a regular part of the role.
