If you’re ambitious, practical, and interested in building a career in sales within an engineering/industrial environment, this is a strong opportunity to develop with a well-established and respected brand.
What you’ll be doing:
Phase 1: Technical & On-Site Development:
- Support fluid management services at customer sites (oil handling, sampling, topping up, housekeeping)
- Work alongside experienced engineers and technicians during service visits
- Learn how industrial environments operate and how our services support customers
- Prepare equipment, materials, and service documentation
- Maintain safe, clean, and organised working practices
Phase 2: Customer & Commercial Development:
- Build relationships with customer contacts on-site
- Learn how to identify opportunities for additional products and services

- Motivated, reliable, and eager to learn
- Full UK driving licence
Desirable (but not essential):
- Experience in engineering, manufacturing, field service, or industrial environments
- Previous customer-facing or sales experience
- Basic mechanical or technical understanding
Who This Role Is Ideal For
- Someone early in their career looking to move into technical sales
- A junior engineer/technician who enjoys working with people and wants a commercial career
- A practical, hands-on individual who doesn’t want a purely office-based role
- Someone ambitious and motivated by progression and earning potential
Progression Pathway
- Months 0-6: Hands-on technical training + on-site experience
- Months 6-12: Transition into technical sales responsibilities
- Beyond 12 months: Development into Technical Sales / Account Management
Depending on skills and experience these time frames could be subject to change. Candidates who already posses the required skill set will be fast tracked to the sales aspects of the role.
