CNC Tooling & Precision Capital Equipment

CNC-Engineers-are-you-looking-for-a-change-in-career?-

You know what good machining looks like.

You understand tooling. Runout. Offsets. Scrap rates. Downtime.
Youve probably stood at a machine at 10 pm fixing something that should have been right in the first place.

Now imagine being the person who prevents those problems.

We are recruiting for a Technical Sales Engineer to join a specialist capital equipment provider supplying precision tool presetting and inspection systems into high-end manufacturing environments.

This isnt box-shifting.
This is consultative technical sales into serious engineering businesses.

And they''re open to the right CNC professional stepping into sales.

What You''ll Be Doing

• Visiting precision engineering and manufacturing companies across the UK

• Demonstrating high-spec machine tool presetting and inspection systems

• Advising customers on improving accuracy, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency

• Managing enquiries from initial discussion through to quotation and close

• Building long-term relationships with Production Managers, CNC Programmers and Directors

• Representing the company at trade shows and industry events

Youll need to understand machining properly. Customers will see through you if you dont.

What Theyre Looking For

• Background as a CNC Programmer / Setter / Operator

• Strong understanding of tooling and machining processes

• Commercial awareness or a genuine interest in moving into sales

• Confident communicator who can hold their own in a machine shop or boardroom

• Self-motivated and target-driven

• Willing to travel across the UK with occasional nights away

• Full UK driving licence

Sales experience is useful. It isnt essential.

Engineering credibility and drive matter more.

What''s On Offer

• Competitive basic salary

• Performance bonus

• Company vehicle

• Laptop and mobile

• Pension with company contribution

• Structured training and clear progression

This is a genuine opportunity to move from the shopfloor into a long-term technical sales career, without losing your engineering edge.

If youre good at what you do and you know youre capable of more, this is worth a conversation.
