Job description
TECHNICAL SALES ENGINEER WANTED
FMCG PROBLEM‑SOLVER & PERFORMANCE BOOSTER
Do you come alive diagnosing issues others can’t see and boosting productivity where it matters most?
Do you thrive in fast‑paced FMCG environments, talking to production managers, engineers and operators to uncover the real root cause of downtime?
If you’re driven by results, responsibility and relationships, this is where you’ll shine.
The Opportunity
Join us as a Technical Sales Engineer, where every day you turn technical know‑how into real‑world performance.
You’ll be the trusted expert on-site—spotting inefficiencies, running line trials, optimising adhesives, and guiding factories to better uptime, cleaner operation and higher profitability.
You’ll diagnose. You’ll improve. You’ll advise...and you’ll do it in some of the most dynamic FMCG plants in the UK.
What You’ll Do

- Run high‑impact product trials with a 90%+ success target.
- Recommend system upgrades, build technical quotes and present clear, commercial reports.
- Grow after‑sales revenue through smart parts and consumables support.
- Represent a business where Productivity and Profitability drive every decision—backed by planet‑friendly solutions.
What “Good” Looks Like
You’re hungry. You’re sharp. You know your kit—Nordson, HHS, Valco, Meler, Krones, case packers, carton sealers and more.
You enjoy being in factories, sleeves rolled, making the application run better today than it did yesterday.
You communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and love helping customers operate at peak performance.
