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.

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.

Sales engineers work where engineering meets the customer. Typical tasks are application consulting, feasibility checks, demos and trials, technical offers and support during tenders – often together with an area or key account manager who owns the commercial relationship. Employers hire engineers and technicians who enjoy customer contact; many sales careers in industry start exactly here.

By industry, most of these jobs come from Machinery (10), Industrial Technology (7), Electronics (7), Recycling (4), Energy (4), and Logistics (4).

Machinery and plant engineering is the home of capital equipment sales: machine tools, packaging and process lines, special-purpose machines. Sales cycles are long, deals are large and technical credibility decides.
