Are you a hydraulics professional who enjoys solving problems, working with customers and finding the right technical solution? If you're looking for a role where your hydraulic knowledge is genuinely valued - and where no two customer requirements are the same - this could be an excellent opportunity to develop your career.
We're looking for a Hydraulic Technical Sales Engineer to join a technically driven team, supporting customers and the external sales team with everything from individual hydraulic components to complete system solutions.
What will you be doing?
This is a varied role combining technical knowledge, customer support and commercial awareness. You'll become a key point of contact for customers, understanding their requirements and using your hydraulic expertise to recommend the right products and solutions. Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing technical sales support to customers and the external sales team
- Understanding customer requirements and recommending suitable hydraulic solutions
- Preparing accurate quotations and managing enquiries through to order
- Advising customers on hydraulic components and product selection
- Working on projects ranging from individual components to larger hydraulic system applications
- Building strong, long-term customer relationships
- Providing technical and after-sales support
- Working closely with engineering, sales and operations teams to deliver the right solutions
The variety is a major part of the appeal. One day you could be helping a customer select a specific hydraulic component; the next, you could be working through the requirements of a much larger hydraulic application.
What are we looking for?
You don't need to be a traditional salesperson. We're looking for someone with genuine hydraulic knowledge who enjoys dealing with customers and has the ability to turn technical requirements into practical solutions. You'll ideally have:
- Experience within the hydraulics industry
- Good knowledge of hydraulic components and systems
- A Mechanical Engineering qualification such as HNC, HND or equivalent (preferred)
- The ability to understand technical information and apply it practically
- Strong communication and customer relationship skills
- Good organisation and the ability to manage multiple enquiries and priorities
- A proactive, positive and professional approach
- The confidence to work independently while contributing to a wider team
- A genuine desire to learn, develop and build your technical and commercial skills
What's in it for you?
You'll receive:
- Competitive salary
- Ongoing training and professional development
- Company pension scheme
- 21 days annual leave + bank holidays
- Additional holiday entitlement for each year of service - up to 5 extra days
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Semi-flexible working hours to make commuting easier
- The opportunity to work with industry-leading hydraulic products, customers and technologies
