They wish to appoint a Graduate Trainee Sales Engineer to manage and grow an existing customer base in the Birmingham and North-West area . Our ideal person is an engineering graduate (Mechanical related Degree) who would like to work in a customer facing role.

Our ideal candidate will be a mechanically oriented graduate engineer who is interested in business and people. You must be eligible to work in the UK without any sponsorship and you must live in one of the areas mentioned or have studied there (no relocating).

No sales experience is needed however based on the profiles of people who have been successful with this company (they have been training graduate engineers for this role for over 10 years) it is quite likely that you have worked in a customer facing role in some capacity or be drawn to this type of role and also that you have an achievement oriented outlook and a general interest in manufacturing.

The role is focussed on developing a group of existing customers (no cold calling). These customers span a range of manufacturing vertical markets which include Automotive, Aerospace and white goods manufacturers and a number of others besides- many of these engineering businesses are household names.

Each project is specifically tailored to the customers requirement and every project is different.

As an engineer you will know what questions to ask in order to build a detailed profile of each customer requirement and hopefully ,make useful inputs towards a solution which will win the customer's order.

If you have enjoyed your engineering Degree but perhaps see yourself prospering in a people facing role on the business side of an Engineering company then this opportunity may be for you.
