This successful, longstanding and hugely innovative organisation is one of the major players in the production of a superb range of tools for metalwork including turning, grooving, milling and boring. Their products are sold into the Manufacturing, Automotive and Aerospace sectors. To further strengthen their team, they have a current requirement for a talented Regional Applications Engineer.

Utilising both your technical and commercial skills you will be supporting the development of customer relationships within direct and distribution networks. You will be working within the sales team and reporting to the Regional Manager. The role will see you covering the West Midlands (together with another RAE based in the Northern part of the area), so ideally you will be based in the B, DY, ST, SY, TF, WS or WV postcodes. Supporting four Area Sales Managers, you will be responsible for the promotion of a range of high-quality cutting tools and solutions to a range of sectors including Manufacturing, Automotive and Aerospace.

A strong CNC background is essential and ideally you will have worked previously as a Miller, Turner, Setter, Operator. You could have an ONC/HNC Mechanical Engineering qualification or CNC experience gained within a relevant Technical Apprenticeship. It may be that you already have some experience in Cutting Tools sales with distributors and direct customers though this is not essential. CAD/CAM experience would be highly beneficial. My client's induction programme is superb and whilst excellent support will be given, you should be a disciplined, target driven individual capable of working on your own initiative. This is a first-class opportunity to join an established, forward thinking market leader and longer- term career prospects are excellent.
