machine and device manufacturing sectors. We set the pace for the entire industry, and we
are looking for ambitious professionals who operate at that same elite standard.
You will own the full sales cycle, acting as a strategic partner to key decision-makers and

● Consultative Selling: Execute strategic sales plans that emphasise SMC's unique
value proposition to engineers and C-suite executives.

and quarterly growth targets.


The Requirements
● Technical Foundation: An engineering-based qualification is desirable. Existing
expertise in automation, fluid control, distribution, manufacturing, or a comparable
field is a major plus.
● Experience: Ideally 1+ years of technical sales experience. However, if you have the
technical aptitude and the "soft skills" to succeed, we want to hear from you.
● The Right Traits: You are competitive, ambitious, and possess the grit required to
win in a fast-paced environment.
● Logistics: A valid UK driving license and a passport (for occasional international
travel/training) are essential.
