Technical Sales Engineer – Yorkshire
c£60,000 Basic | £80,000+ OTE | Home-Based | Company Car
If you’re happy ticking boxes, protecting legacy accounts, and calling it a “career,” this isn’t for you. But if you want autonomy, influence, and earnings that reflects your ability, keep reading. This is your chance to own one of the most industrially dense regions in the UK and decide for yourself how big you want your career (and income) to be.
Why this role will stretch you (and why that’s the point)
You’ll be trusted with high-value, technically complex sales across Yorkshire. No babysitting. No micromanagement. You’ll decide where to focus, which customers matter, and how aggressive your growth strategy should be.
You’ll be selling mission-critical rotating equipment and sealing solutions. The kind that shut plants down if they fail. That means access to senior engineers, project leaders, and decision-makers who don’t waste time on average salespeople.
If you can influence them, your value skyrockets.
If you can’t, you’ll know quickly.
What’s in it for you?
- To £60,000 basic salary, with realistic earnings of £80,000+
- Home-based role with full control over your diary
- Company car, expenses, pension, tech kit, credit card - the lot
- World-class technical training that sharpens both your engineering credibility and your commercial edge
- A product range that gives you instant authority in front of serious industrial clients
- Long-term career leverage: this is a role that opens doors, not one you hide in
You won’t be “supported” into mediocrity—you’ll be backed to perform.
What you’ll actually be doing
- Owning and growing strategic industrial accounts across Yorkshire
- Winning new business in complex, project-led environments
- Leading sales campaigns end-to-end: opportunity, proposal, negotiation, close
- Identifying where customers are losing money—and positioning solutions that fix it
- Working with internal technical teams without being dependent on them
Roughly 70% account development, 30% new business. How aggressively you grow the patch is up to you.
Who this is really for
You’ll probably recognise yourself in most of this:
- You’ve may have sold rotating equipment, pumps, valves, seals, or similar engineered products. However, a technical appreciation is enough to begin with
- You’re commercially brave enough to go after big opportunities, not just easy wins
- You can hold your own with engineers and procurement without hiding behind jargon
- You think strategically but execute relentlessly
- You’re motivated by autonomy, not job titles
An engineering background (degree or apprenticeship) helps but mindset matters more.
