Work closely with internal engineering and technical teams to develop appropriate customer solutions. Prepare commercial proposals and negotiate with customers. Sales Engineer Requirements:

Electrical, electronic or technical engineering background would be highly advantageous. Applications are welcomed from experienced Sales Engineers as well as engineers looking to develop their career within technical sales. Strong communication skills with the confidence to build relationships with customers at all levels.
