Sales Engineer / Technical Sales Engineer

Location: Oldham, OL1
Job Type: Full-time
Reporting to: Sales Manager

Sales Engineer Overview

We are seeking a technically capable and commercially minded Sales Engineer to join our client's growing team specialising in pump systems and fluid handling solutions.

This role offers flexibility depending on the successful candidate’s background and experience. We are open to candidates seeking either an office-based technical sales and applications role with customer site visits (around £45k), or a more autonomous external sales position focused on developing new business and managing customer relationships across a wider territory (up to 48k).

The successful candidate will support customers from initial enquiry and pump selection through to quotation, contract review, aftermarket support, and ongoing account management.

This is an excellent opportunity for either: an experienced technical sales professional within pumps or rotating equipment, or a hands-on engineer/applications specialist looking to move further into customer-facing technical sales.
