Technical Sales Board lists technical and industrial sales jobs only – no retail, no call centre, no software subscriptions. Every ad is classified by role, industry, country and city, by sales style from hunter to key account, by territory, travel share and required languages, and ads that have expired disappear the same day. What you see here is what is open right now.

DACH covers Germany, Austria, and Switzerland – one search instead of 3 separate ones, which is how most sales territories are cut anyway.

Industrial technology covers the components and systems that make factories run – automation, drives, sensors, robotics, pneumatics and hydraulics, pumps and valves. Selling it combines application know-how with volume business at OEMs.

Industrial technology is sold twice: first the design-in at the machine builder or plant engineer, then the volume business that follows. Sales roles therefore combine application consulting with account development, and many employers work with both direct sales and distribution partners. Knowledge of automation, drives or fluid technology is the entry ticket; understanding the customer’s machine is what wins the socket.

The roles advertised most often here are Technical Sales Engineer (9), Technical Inside Sales (5), Technical Sales Representative (4), Business Development Manager (4), After-Sales & Service Sales Manager (4), and Head of Sales (3).

Technical sales engineers translate a customer's technical problem into a solution their company can deliver profitably – clarifying requirements, designing the offer, calculating and closing.

7% of the ads state a salary: base pay ranges from €45,000 to €100,000 per year, with a median of €87,500. Variable pay and, in field roles, a company car usually come on top. More on median, range and source: technical sales salary benchmarks by role, industry and country.
