Sales Engineer

Sales Engineers combine their technological knowledge with their sales skills. They work closely with businesses to demonstrate how their organisation’s products and services can meet the required specifications. Not only do Sales Engineers present technical and scientific products to prospective clients, they also negotiate sales contracts, provide technical support to existing clients, and seek out new sales opportunities. They usually operate within an advisory role in their organisation and are likely to work with teams in other departments such as research and development, production managers and other senior-level staff. The role can span across various market sectors including manufacturing, telecommunications and scientific industries.
