- Maintain strong product knowledge and industry awareness to strengthen proposal quality and competitiveness.

- 2–3 years’ experience in a technical–commercial role (e.g., Application Engineer, Sales Engineer, Sales Manager) within manufacturing or engineering.
- Experience preparing quotations, cost estimates or technical proposals.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings; competency in CAD is essential.
- Experience in polymer or materials‑based industries is desirable.
- Please note: Due to the nature of the work and high-level security requirements, we can only consider applications from UK British citizens who do not hold dual nationality.
Why Join Us?
At Trelleborg Polyurethane Products, you’ll play a key role in shaping how customers experience our technical capability and product excellence.
