They’re looking for a proactive, commercially curious Business Development Executive to help grow awareness, identify opportunities, and bring new customers into the sales pipeline.
This is not a hard-sell telesales role.
It’s about intelligent outreach, relationship-building, research, persistence, and learning how high-value technical sales really works.
You’ll work closely with an experienced leadership and technical team, learning the products, industries, and customer challenges over time.

- Engineering Sales
- Technical Customer Service
- Manufacturing account management
Most importantly, you’ll have:
✅ Confidence speaking to customers
✅ Resilience and persistence
✅ Curiosity and willingness to learn
✅ Strong communication skills
✅ Commercial awareness
✅ A proactive mindset
An interest in engineering, manufacturing, automation, CNC, or technical products would be highly beneficial – but attitude and drive are more important than industry experience.

✅ £30K-£35K basic salary
✅ Bonus structure with realistic earnings growth
✅ Full product and industry training
✅ Genuine long-term career path into technical sales
✅ Exposure to advanced manufacturing technology
