365 People are recruiting for a Technical Sales Representative to join an established and growing specialist engineering manufacturer based in Tamworth.
This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially driven individual with a technical or engineering background who wants to develop their career within international technical sales.

You'll be joining a successful engineering business with ambitious growth plans and a highly technical product range supplied into industries including automotive, aerospace, coatings, electronics and materials testing.
Previous experience within this specific product sector is not essential. Full product training can be provided to the right person. What is important is the ability to understand technical products, build strong commercial relationships and confidently develop sales opportunities.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Developing sales across international markets

International Travel
Although UK based, international travel is an important part of the position.
You'll visit customers, distributors and agents across overseas markets as well as attending international exhibitions and industry events.
You must therefore be comfortable travelling internationally as required.
