Technical Sales Engineer

Are you a Sales Engineer who enjoys working with customers and solving technical problems?

Why This Role Stands Out

• Step into a role with 70-80% existing customers and warm leads
• Strong earning potential – base + profit share + uncapped commission + company car
• Fully remote role with flexibility and autonomy
• Join a growing team where you can help shape the future

What your new role looks like

• Provide technical advice and product solutions to engineers, production teams and procurement
• Manage and grow an established customer base
• Follow up and convert warm leads and inbound enquiries
• Identify and secure new business opportunities
• Build strong, long-term partnerships across your territory (Waikato / BOP)
• Deliver product demonstrations, technical presentations and custom education sessions including workshops
• Attending networking and industry events and trade shows

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years in external technical sales or strong customer-facing sales experience with a background in Mechanical or Materials Engineering.
• The ability to translate technical concepts into practical solutions
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Self-motivation and the ability to work autonomously in a remote role
• Knowledge of the Waikato/BOP region (highly advantageous)

About the Team

You’ll be joining a close-knit, developing sales team where collaboration is valued and autonomy is trusted. It’s a supportive environment with plenty of opportunity to make your mark.
