The Role

As a Graduate Sales Engineer, this will be a direct, full-sales cycle role – meaning you’ll become and expert in your field & assigned territory and manage the sales process from start to finish.

Your week will be split between office days and field days. Your office days will be spent prospecting and mainly speaking on the phones with customers in which you’ll be setting up meetings & visits for your field days. Typical responsibilities will include:

• Collaboration – you’ll be working very closely with team members in other verticals & territories to identify any opportunities to cross or up-sell.

What are they looking for?

• Degreed Educated – for this role, it’s non-negotiable that you have either obtained a degree or due to graduate this year.
• Adaptable – given the nature of the businesses you’ll be selling to; one day you could be in a boardroom with C-Suite Execs and the next you could be on a factory floor – you’ll need to be able to adapt to different scenarios.
• Competitive & Driven – you’ll have previous examples which highlight that you’re someone that’s competitive and always wants to do the best that they can do.
• Driving License – given the nature of the role, a full clean driving license is required.

What’s in it for you?

• Training & Development – You’ll have an initial 4-8 week training period where you’ll be trained on both the sales & technical aspects of the role. Not only that, you’ll be assigned a mentor in your first year.
• Earning Potential – an already generous salary + minimum £5k bonus in Y1. Earnings drastically increase as you progress in your role.
• Company Car (Audi)
• Other Perks & Benefits – access to private healthcare (which includes subsidised gym membership), advanced company pension, regular team & lunch incentives for high performance.
