Eaton Syalon are exclusively partnering with a leading business within the construction sector to recruit a Sales Engineer covering the East Midlands.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded and technically capable individual who enjoys building relationships, managing projects from enquiry through to completion and working closely with customers on-site.

We are particularly keen to speak with candidates currently working as Sales Engineers, Technical Sales Engineers, Area Sales Managers, Business Development Managers or individuals from groundworks, civil engineering, structural engineering or technical design backgrounds who are looking to transition into a more customer-facing commercial role.

The Role

Reporting into the National Sales Manager, you will be responsible for developing relationships with contractors, engineers and consultants across the East Midlands, supporting projects from initial enquiry through to completion.

This is a field-based role where you’ll spend time meeting customers on-site, identifying opportunities, providing technical advice and ensuring projects are delivered successfully.

You’ll inherit an established customer base whilst also identifying and developing new business opportunities throughout the region.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing projects from initial enquiry through to completion.
  • Building and developing relationships with contractors, engineers and consultants.
  • Visiting customer sites across the East Midlands.
  • Identifying new business opportunities within existing and prospective accounts.
  • Providing technical advice and commercially focused solutions.
  • Reading and interpreting technical drawings and specifications.
  • Preparing quotations and following opportunities through to order.
  • Working closely with internal technical and operational teams.
  • Maintaining accurate CRM records and sales activity.
  • Representing the business professionally at customer meetings and site visits

About You

  • Experience within construction, civil engineering, groundworks or another technical construction environment.
  • Previous experience in technical sales, field sales or account management, or experience within a technical/design role looking to move into sales.
  • The ability to understand technical drawings and construction projects.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Strong commercial awareness with a customer-focused approach.

This role covers the East Midlands and would suit candidates based in or around Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Loughborough, Mansfield, Newark and the surrounding areas.

If you have a strong technical understanding of the construction industry and enjoy developing long term customer relationships whilst managing projects from enquiry through to completion, we’d love to hear from you.
