The role will suit someone with experience in a prior commercial role providing engineering solutions, or in applications engineering with a strong track record of securing sales. You’ll be supported by account managers and technical specialists, and help to grow and develop a team of colleagues around you.
You will have:
- A good technical degree in a STEM subject and strong supporting academic grades; you may even have a PhD. You will have degree-level or higher knowledge of engineering materials, either from education or elsewhere.
- Significant expertise in a client-facing technical capacity, working with business clients in the engineering sector, such as the development of engineering solutions, or applications engineering, or product management, or even technical sales.
- Likely from the above, the technical leadership skills required to shepherd client projects from early stage discussions through to delivery.
- The mindset towards commercial aspects and negotiation, including good judgement on pricing and margins, and pitching at a level to secure business; you will have had demonstrable success in these respects in the past.
You’d be joining a growing company, expanding both through hiring and acquisitions. If you have microfabrication or materials testing / analysis experience, that is also a bonus. A highly competitive salary and benefits are on offer, and hybrid work options likely extend to one, perhaps two, days per week from home.
