This international company are global leaders in the design, development and distribution of testing and simulation software for markets including Automotive and Transport.
This opportunity is one of the most unique you'll come across. It will allow you, as the successful candidate, to decide on which path you wish to take within the function and chose which area of the business you wish to specialise in.
The area you will be joining is their Engineering Sales division. Now... before you look away because you don't want sales, you need to read on as this is an extremely technical role and you'll need to use your engineering knowledge every minute of every day.
There are two main routes you can go down within this role:
Route 1: Client facing
- You'll be representing the business by meeting with OEMs like Ford and JLR, Tier 1, Tier 2 etc. manufacturers across the UK
- The main function of the role is to discover what issues a client has and offer your consultation to decide on what solution is best to offer
Route 2: Technical Head Office based
- You'll be using your engineering know how and knowledge of the company's products to help develop the best solution possible for the client
- This will involve liaising with the International Sales Engineers and the client directly to ensure you're able to create the correct specification and quotation
You'll be eased into the position with superb training and support, which will be a mixture of 80% on the job tuition and 20% classroom learning, whilst gaining visibility to both routes to help you decide what suits you.
You'll also work to specialise in a particular market sector i.e. Electronic and Hybrid Vehicles, Heavy Goods Vehicles etc.
There is so much more to this role, so do apply, and if you have the skills for it we can discuss it in great detail!
