Field Sales Engineer - Aerospace & Defence

Home-Based / Field-Based | Northern England & Scotland

Competitive salary + bonus (£15-20K)
Benefits: Company Electric Vehicle, Pension, Vitality healthcare, up to 5 weeks' holiday + Bank Holidays

Are you an engineer or technically minded sales professional looking to take the next step into external technical sales?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established engineering business specialising in cable harnesses, EWIS, electrical interconnect and electro-mechanical assemblies, supplying demanding customers across Aerospace, Defence, Space, Rail and advanced engineering.

You will take ownership of a largely undeveloped territory across Northern England and Scotland, identifying new customers, developing relationships and creating opportunities with leading engineering organisations.

The role

• Develop new customers and markets across your territory
• Meet engineering, procurement and commercial decision-makers
• Understand customer applications and technical requirements
• Develop opportunities from initial enquiry through quotation and negotiation
• Manage your pipeline and develop strategic customer relationships
• Work closely with experienced engineering and manufacturing teams
• Attend customer visits, exhibitions and industry events

Who are we looking for?

This could suit an Internal Sales Engineer, Applications Engineer, Sales Engineer, Technical Account Manager or technically minded customer-facing professional looking to move into external sales.

You will need a technical/engineering background, strong communication skills, commercial ambition and the confidence to build relationships with customers.

You don't need extensive field sales experience - you will receive product training and hands-on support from an experienced Sales Manager and engineering team as you develop.

We are ideally looking for candidates with experience or understanding of working in aerospace, defence or similar regulated engineering environment.

Why join?

• Build your own territory rather than inherit an established patch
• Develop a career in technical sales and business development
• Work across exciting Aerospace, Defence and Rail markets
• Home-based flexibility with regular customer travel
• Strong technical and commercial support
• Genuine autonomy without a micromanagement culture
• Join an established business with a strong reputation for quality and reliability
• Excellent opportunity for long-term career progression as the territory grows

If you are technically credible, commercially ambitious and ready to build your career in external sales, we'd love to hear from you.
