Transform Your Potential into Expertise: Join Spirax Group's Sales Engineer Development Programme and Shape the Future of Industrial Solutions.

We're looking for passionate, forward-thinking individuals to join our new Sales Engineer Development Programme, who we can develop to be our Sales Engineers of the future.

As a participant in this programme, you will be part of a committed, innovative, and inclusive team. You will be at the forefront of our mission to engineer a more sustainable world. This role is not just about sales; it's about finding innovative solutions that help our customers reduce their environmental impact.

Over the two-year programme, you'll have the opportunity to work through a series of placements in multiple departments, shadow experts and meet customers. Your programme will be carefully structured to ensure you are given the best possible opportunity to learn and grow quickly, allowing you to accelerate your own career.

You will also complete an NVQ3 in Sales, with an external partner, whilst carrying out bespoke in-house training across multiple topics from product knowledge to sales process.

What you'll be doing:

  • Build your specialist product, application, technology, and industry knowledge, through working with our technical experts, so that you can understand customer needs and resolve their challenges.
  • Grow your network internally and build strong external customer relationships, so that by the end of the programme you are ready to hit the ground running and have an immediate impact.
  • Aim high, bringing brilliant levels of self-management and motivation, working with our proven sales processes and tools, to over-achieve sales targets and goals.

What you'll need to be successful:

  • Further Education qualification (e.g., BTEC/NVQ/A Level)
  • Eligibility to work permanently within the United Kingdom without requiring sponsorship in the future.
  • A UK drivers' licence (or working towards this)
  • The desire to work in a high-pressure environment with a self-starter attitude and openness to feedback.
  • Our Sales Engineer roles are based across the UK, so a willingness to travel (and potentially relocate in the future) would be beneficial.

Our Investment in You:
The most important asset in our business is our people. We offer a range of benefits many of which extend to our colleague globally;

  • Private Medical Insurance: Starting from day one, with the option to add on family.
  • 16-Weeks Gender neutral parental leave with the option of 80% working for 100% pay for the first 6 months on your return.
