Technical Sales Board lists technical and industrial sales jobs only – no retail, no call centre, no software subscriptions.

What you see here is what is open right now.

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 (7), Technical Sales Representative (4), Technical Inside Sales (4), Head of Sales (3), Sales Manager (3), and Key Account Manager (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.

8% of the ads state a salary: base pay ranges from €70,000 to €100,000 per year, with a median of €87,500. Variable pay and, in field roles, a company car usually come on top. Technical sales salaries in Germany – all roles compared.
