Take Ownership of Your Territory
Silcom’s Chains is a UK manufacturer and supplier of engineered conveyor chains, sprockets and associated components used across demanding industrial environments.
We're growing our Chains business and looking for a technically minded Sales Engineer to develop customers across the South of England.
This is a true field sales role. You'll spend much of your time on the road, visiting customer sites, building relationships, identifying opportunities and helping customers solve real engineering challenges.
You don't need to be a conveyor chain expert. If you understand conveyors, material handling, bulk handling, power transmission or similar engineered products, we're interested in speaking with you.
The Role
You'll manage and develop your territory, combining new business development with account management.
Your customers will include businesses across Energy from Waste (EfW), recycling, wastewater, quarrying, aggregates, biomass, power generation and general industrial manufacturing.
You'll have the backing of our Engineering and Estimating teams to develop the right technical and commercial solutions for customers.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
