Metalis Engineering Recruitment are currently supporting an established and highly regarded precision engineering business that supplies critical components into demanding sectors such as oil & gas, subsea, offshore, and chemical processing.

They are now looking to appoint a Sales Engineer to support the commercial growth of the business, focusing on both developing existing accounts and identifying new opportunities across their specialist machining capabilities.

As a Sales Engineer, you will:

  • Research and target potential new customers in key sectors to generate opportunities for machined components and assemblies
  • Prepare quotations for CNC and manual machining work, following up to secure feedback and orders
  • Work closely with engineering and production teams to evaluate technical specifications, production capacity, and achievable lead times
  • Determine raw material needs and coordinate external supplier pricing through formal quotation requests
  • Assess project scope to identify any outsourced processes required (e.g. surface treatments, specialist welding, EDM), obtaining costs and timelines from approved partners
  • Collaborate across departments to ensure accurate and timely communication around project requirements
What We're Looking For:
  • Ideally, experience in a technical sales or estimating role within precision machining
  • Good understanding of CNC/manual turning, milling, boring
  • Familiarity with materials such as Inconel, Hastelloy, Super Duplex, and other corrosion-resistant alloys is desirable
  • Commercially minded, with strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • Comfortable interpreting engineering drawings and discussing technical specifications with clients
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company with an excellent reputation, modern facilities, and long-term customer partnerships in high-value sectors.

If you're passionate about engineering and commercially focused, this role offers the chance to make a real impact.
