Technical Sales Engineer - Industrial Waste Water - North West - (with local and international travel)

About the company

Our client is a specialised engineering business focused on industrial wastewater processing and treatment systems. We are seeking a hands-on Technical Sales Engineer with strong field capability to support system design, optimisation, troubleshooting, and customer implementation.

This role is heavily technical and field-oriented. While the position supports commercial activity, its primary purpose is to apply engineering and chemical knowledge to real-world industrial wastewater challenges, working directly with industrial processes and treatment systems.
