The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an exciting and rapidly growing business at the forefront of construction robotics, automation and laser layout technology .

This is an opportunity for a Technical Sales Engineer who combines strong technical ability with real commercial spark.

The company provides advanced robotic and digital construction solutions designed to transform traditional site processes – helping contractors improve accuracy, productivity and efficiency through automation.

This isn't a traditional sales role, and it isn't a desk-based engineering position.

We're looking for someone who can understand the technology, work confidently with CAD and digital construction information , get out onto live construction sites and demonstrate sophisticated technology to customers.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can combine that technical credibility with the personality, enthusiasm and sales drive to win business .

The Role

You'll sit at the intersection of construction, technology and sales .

Working directly with contractors, engineers, BIM/VDC teams and site personnel, you'll understand how customers currently operate and demonstrate how robotics, automation and laser layout technology can improve their processes.

You'll be involved throughout the customer journey – from initial technical conversations and demonstrations through to Proof of Concept projects, sales and implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and develop new customer opportunities.
• Meet contractors, engineers and construction teams to understand their existing workflows.
• Demonstrate advanced robotics and laser layout technology on live construction sites.
• Work with CAD/BIM data to deliver accurate on-site demonstrations.
• Run technical demonstrations and Proof of Concept projects.
• Clearly communicate the productivity, accuracy and commercial benefits of automation.
• Support customers with CAD files, coordinate systems, control points and model-to-site alignment.
• Turn successful technical demonstrations into genuine commercial opportunities.
• Manage and progress opportunities through the sales process.
• Support customers during onboarding and implementation.
• Build strong, long-term relationships with construction businesses.
• Become a technical expert and trusted adviser on the company's technology.
• Travel to customer sites across the UK when required.

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Experience using CAD or similar construction design software .
• Strong technical aptitude and the ability to learn sophisticated technology quickly.
• Excellent communication and customer-facing skills.
• A natural commercial mentality and genuine sales spark .
• An interest in robotics, automation and laser layout technology .
• Comfortable working on active construction sites.
• Strong practical problem-solving skills.
• Able to commute to the Midlands and travel to customer sites.
• Full UK driving licence.

• Surveying or setting-out
• BIM/VDC
• Revit
• AutoCAD
• Navisworks
• Robotic Total Stations
• Laser layout
• Civil engineering
• Construction technology
• Construction robotics or automation

You don't need to tick every box.

Someone with strong CAD or construction experience and the personality and ambition to develop into technical sales could be just as interesting as an established Technical Sales Engineer.

The Person

Technical ability is important – but we're equally interested in who you are in front of a customer . We're looking for someone naturally curious, confident and enthusiastic.

You'll enjoy meeting people, asking questions, understanding problems and demonstrating a better way of doing things.

You'll need to be able to walk onto a construction site, understand the technical environment and then confidently explain why the technology you're demonstrating can make a genuine difference.

Previous experience with this specific technology isn't required. Full product training will be provided.

What matters is the combination of technical curiosity, CAD capability, communication skills, commercial drive and a genuine passion for robotics and automation .

Package

£40,000 – £65,000 depending on experience. uncapped commission.

This could suit an experienced Technical Sales Engineer within construction technology, surveying or engineering.

Equally, it could be an excellent opportunity for someone from a CAD, BIM, surveying or construction background who has strong people skills and wants to move into a more commercially focused career.

If you're passionate about technology, comfortable on a construction site and excited by the future of robotics and automation in construction, we'd like to hear from you.
