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.

Recycling and environmental technology sells shredders, sorting systems, balers, water and air treatment to waste management companies, municipalities and industry – a growth market driven by regulation and raw material prices.

Customers in recycling and environmental technology are waste management companies, recyclers, municipalities and industrial plants under regulatory pressure. Projects range from a single baler to complete sorting plants, often with public tenders and subsidies in the background. Sales people who understand material flows, throughput and operating costs are in short supply – and employers pay for that experience.
