Why This Role Is a Stand-Out Opportunity

This isn’t a typical sales job or a typical engineering job—it’s a role that blends both disciplines to put you at the heart of customer account management, technical projects, and manufacturing delivery.

You will be the link between customers and engineering and production teams.  Every day looks different, and every project gives you the chance to expand your technical knowledge while building strong customer relationships.

If you’re looking for a role that develops your technical, commercial, and project leadership skills all at once—this is it.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work closely with Sales Managers, customers, engineers, suppliers, and the shop floor to make sure projects run smoothly from initial enquiry through to delivery. Expect a fast-paced, varied role with hands-on involvement in technical decisions.

Your key responsibilities:

Customer & Account Ownership

• Act as the first point of contact for your assigned customers
• Manage ongoing enquiries, site visits, and relationship development
• Create and manage contacts/customers within ERP/CRM
• Generate pricing, compile quotations, and negotiate commercially
• Support strategic customer plans to drive profitable growth

Technical & Project Engineering

• Read, interpret, and respond to engineering specifications
• Work with the factory to support RFQs and NPI activity
• Liaise with engineers and shop floor teams to ensure correct manufacturing routes
• Help select suppliers based on technical requirements
• Contribute to procurement input for specialist materials or processes
• Build deep technical knowledge of springs, presswork, materials, and production processes

Internal Leadership & Collaboration

• Bring together the right expertise to progress complex technical projects
• Ensure internal departments have clear, accurate customer requirements
• Participate in sales meetings and trade exhibitions
• Support pipeline development and work toward agreed KPIs.
•  

This is a role where you’ll quickly become trusted as a technical advisor, problem-solver, and project driver.

Why You’ll Love This Role

? Customer-facing role – perfect if you enjoy variety, ownership, and technical challenges.
? Training provided – ideal for someone with the right mindset, even early-career experience. 
? Supportive, collaborative team culture – Everyone rolls up their sleeves to help each other.  
? Clear progression – grow into more technical, commercial, or project-based responsibilities.
