They have grown significantly over the last few years – in part because of the increase in luxury and iconic buildings across the work that incorporates a clock as part of their design. This growth has resulted in the need to recruit an experienced Sales Engineer. Their Sales Engineers are customer-focused, technical sales professionals, who provide a high level of customer service to a diverse range of clients and prospects from architects and designers to ecclesiastical staff and the general public. Your key role will be to develop appropriate customer solutions for both new architectural clocks and associated products and for the refurbishment and repair of heritage mechanical clocks.

You will take complete responsibility for the lifecycle of an enquiry through the full process to order and completion, achieving individual set targets whilst also being a dynamic team player. You will act in a consultative fashion and will become an expert in time solutions from the world’s greatest time provider.

The ideal candidate for the role will be a pragmatic Sales Engineer. You will have experience in similar sales roles with a proven track record of success. The ideal candidate will have experience in the following:
