You’ll be positioned at the heart of the customer journey, working on technically interesting applications and directly influencing the solutions delivered.
The Role
- You will act as the first point of contact for technical enquiries, taking ownership of incoming customer requirements - from initial triage and technical assessment through to solution definition and quotation. The focus is on quality of engagement, technical accuracy, and providing consultative, solution-led support across a varied and complex product range.
- You’ll work closely with internal teams and field sales, ensuring customer needs are understood and translated into the right engineering outcomes.

- Ensure all outputs align with engineering standards and best practice
Customer & Stakeholder Support
- Provide clear, solution-focused technical guidance to customers and internal teams
- Support field sales with technical input on opportunities and projects
- Act as a key point of contact for technical queries across the business
Commercial Awareness
- Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities from inbound demand
- Analyse customer requirements and purchasing patterns to add value
- Contribute to overall sales performance through a solution-led approach
Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement

- Work with engineering and specialist teams where required
- Contribute to improving technical processes, tools and ways of working
Cross-Functional Collaboration

Why This Role?
- Move into a consultative, customer-facing engineering position
