Jobs as Sales engineer (technical sales)

Sales engineers connect engineering and the customer. They clarify what a machine, a plant or a system has to achieve at the customer's site, design the technical solution, calculate quotes and follow a project from the first requirements specification to acceptance. In Switzerland the role is common in machine and plant engineering, automation, medical technology and among suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry – often with customers in several language regions and abroad. Day-to-day work is half engineering and half conversation. An enquiry becomes a specification, the specification becomes a design, and the design becomes a quote that still holds during execution. Good sales engineers understand the customer's application in detail and say early what will not work. Common are an engineering degree or a technician diploma, experience in design, commissioning or project management, CRM systems, requirement specifications, quote calculation and confident negotiation in several languages. Through try&hire you first get to know these engineers by video and in conversation, then by working together. The engineers are employed via staff leasing; salary and insurance run through us. After a few months, both sides decide on a permanent position. Whether someone wins customers without overpromising only shows in a project.
