Sales Engineer

Sales Engineer Overview

Our client, a prominent European manufacturer specializing in photonics and fiber-optic technologies, is seeking a Technical Sales Manager to join their expanding commercial team. This role involves working remotely and offers an annual on-target earnings (OTE) of approximately £60,000 to £70,000. The company develops highly specialized optical and fiber-based solutions that serve a broad spectrum of industrial, scientific, and infrastructure sectors globally.

The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of engineering and business strategy, translating complex technical ideas into viable commercial opportunities. Building and maintaining long-term relationships with customers will be key, as well as identifying new markets and business prospects. Unlike standard product sales, this role requires close collaboration with engineers, researchers, and technical decision-makers to understand specific application needs and deliver customized solutions that meet those requirements.

Applicants should have a background in fields such as photonics, optics, fiber optics, physics, or engineering. Experience in sales, applications engineering, business development, or other customer-facing technical roles is preferred. However, candidates with strong technical expertise who are interested in moving into a sales-oriented position will also be considered.

The role involves managing existing customer accounts, developing new client relationships, and working at a strategic level to support the company’s growth. The position is based remotely, providing flexibility in work location.

Regarding visa sponsorship, the listing notes that the role is likely to sponsor visas, as indicated by the company’s inclusion in the UKVisaJobs database with the ‘likely_to_sponsor’ flag set to yes. The company does not specify any restrictions or limitations on sponsorship in the posted content.
