Technical Sales Engineer

Technical Sales Engineer - Automation & Special Purpose Machinery

• Location: Western Sydney

An opportunity has opened for a Technical Sales Engineer to join an established Australian-owned engineering business delivering bespoke machinery and automation solutions.

This is not a catalogue sales role. You'll work directly with customers to understand their production challenges and collaborate with engineering to develop practical, customised solutions. The role combines technical problem-solving, business development and project-based sales, with ownership from initial enquiry through to proposal, negotiation and project handover.

The Role

• Develop new business and grow existing customer relationships
• Manage technical sales opportunities from initial enquiry through to confirmed order
• Visit customer sites to understand production requirements and applications
• Qualify project scope, budget, stakeholders and timelines
• Work with engineering to develop practical machinery and automation solutions
• Coordinate quotations and prepare technical and commercial proposals
• Present solutions, negotiate opportunities and manage customer expectations
• Support demonstrations, trials and technical discussions
• Provide clear project handovers to engineering and delivery teams
• Maintain an accurate sales pipeline and forecasts

What We're Looking For

• Experience selling engineered equipment, machinery, automation or technical solutions
• Proven ability to progress project-based sales through to confirmed orders
• Strong business development and relationship-building skills
• Technical understanding of mechanical systems and industrial equipment
• Commercial awareness around project scope, costing and margins
• Strong proposal, presentation and negotiation skills
• Practical and solutions-focused mindset
• Comfortable working autonomously and alongside engineering and workshop teams
• Mechanically minded and enjoys solving problems

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys both the commercial and technical sides of engineering. You'll have the opportunity to develop customer relationships, win new projects and stay close to the technical solution, working alongside the teams responsible for designing, building and delivering the equipment.
