Technical Sales & Estimating Engineer

We’re working with a well-established manufacturer in the springs and precision components space, looking to bring in a Technical Sales & Estimating Engineer to support continued growth.

This is a varied role sitting between engineering and commercial—ideal for someone who enjoys working with drawings and technical detail, but also wants to be involved in customer interaction and the wider sales process.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for managing incoming enquiries, typically in the form of drawings or technical specifications, and turning these into accurate, commercially sound quotations.

Alongside the estimating side, you’ll also engage with customers to understand requirements, challenge where needed, and help guide the best solution.

The work is a mix of standard catalogue products and more bespoke engineered components, so there’s good variety day to day.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review drawings and technical specifications to assess feasibility
  • Produce accurate costings including materials, labour, and lead times
  • Liaise with suppliers and internal teams to gather required information
  • Work closely with production on manufacturability and delivery
  • Engage with customers to clarify requirements and add value
  • Support the wider sales process through technical input

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience within springs (ideally), or closely related areas such as wireforms or precision metal components
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
  • Background in estimating, applications engineering, or technical sales
  • Commercial awareness and confidence speaking with customers
  • Organised, detail-focused, and able to manage multiple enquiries

Package

  • £40,000 – £50,000 (depending on experience and they can flex for the right candidate)
  • Bonus based on individual and company performance
  • Annual salary reviews
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Early finish on Fridays
  • Stable, well-established business with a strong reputation

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants a role with real variety, where technical input and customer interaction go hand in hand.

For a confidential discussion, please get in touch.

Where to Advertise Materials Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise materials science jobs UK in 2026: specialist boards, academic channels and societies that reach physicists, chemists and metallurgists. The candidate pool spans physicists, chemists, metallurgists, ceramicists, polymer scientists and computational materials researchers — a highly multidisciplinary community with distinct professional identities, academic networks and job search behaviours. The strongest candidates are typically embedded in university research groups, national laboratories, government-funded programmes or deep tech R&D teams, and move between roles through specialist academic channels, professional societies and sector-specific networks rather than mainstream job boards. This guide, published by MaterialsScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise materials science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Materials Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Materials Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK materials science hiring over the next three years — from batteries to composites. Materials science sits at the foundation of almost every technology transition that matters right now. The batteries powering the electric vehicle revolution, the semiconductors enabling artificial intelligence, the lightweight composites reducing aircraft emissions, the biomaterials replacing damaged human tissue, the thin films making solar cells more efficient — none of these advances are possible without breakthroughs in the science and engineering of materials. And breakthroughs in materials science require people. The UK materials science jobs market has historically been one of the quieter corners of the STEM hiring landscape — important, deeply technical, and consistently in demand, but rarely the subject of the breathless coverage that AI or blockchain attract. That relative obscurity is beginning to change. The convergence of the net zero transition, the semiconductor sovereignty agenda, the advanced manufacturing investment wave, and the growing role of computational and AI-driven materials discovery is elevating materials science to a strategic priority for governments, investors, and employers in a way that is directly reshaping the jobs market. For job seekers, this shift represents a genuine opportunity — but one that rewards those who understand the specific technical, commercial, and policy dynamics driving materials science hiring rather than those who simply arrive with a materials science degree and expect the market to do the rest. The roles being created now are more interdisciplinary, more computationally demanding, and more commercially oriented than the materials science jobs of even three years ago. This article breaks down what the UK materials science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of a discipline that has never been more consequential.
