Consulo First are proud recruitment partners to a global engineering manufacturer recognised worldwide for its precision drive systems, gearing technology, and motion control solutions. As part of their continued UK growth, we are now seeking a high-calibre Internal Sales Engineer – to join their commercial team.

This is not a standard internal sales role. You’ll act as the technical-commercial bridge between customers, engineering, and the wider sales organisation — managing complex enquiries, developing quotations, and supporting new product initiatives that underpin the company’s strategic growth plans.

While primarily office-based, the position offers the chance to engage directly with customers across multiple sectors including industrial machinery, power transmission, automation, and process equipment – both in the UK and occasionally overseas.

Key Responsibilities



Manage customer accounts and incoming technical enquiries with precision and pace.

*

Prepare accurate quotations and proposals across mechanical drive and motion products.

*

Collaborate with engineering, production and external sales to ensure seamless project delivery.

*

Gather and interpret customer feedback to help shape product improvements and value engineering activity.

*

Support the creation of training, marketing and product launch materials.

*

Maintain accurate CRM data (Salesforce) and ensure KPI performance on response times and order intake.

Candidate Profile

*

Strong mechanical or electro-mechanical engineering understanding — ideally qualified to HNC/HND or degree level.

*

Background in internal sales, applications, or technical support within drives, gearboxes, motors, couplings, bearings, or industrial automation.

*

Naturally inquisitive with the ability to translate customer needs into technical and commercial solutions.

*

Excellent communication, organisation and relationship-building skills.

*

Ambitious, collaborative and able to thrive within a busy manufacturing sales environment.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an engineer with commercial acumen to join a global leader in motion technology — blending technical depth with customer-facing responsibility in a high-performing, supportive environment.

If you’re looking to progress your career with a world-class engineering manufacturer, we’d love to hear from you

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
