Technology & engineering sales jobs in Exeter
Exeter has more technology and engineering sales opportunities than anywhere else in Devon, from SaaS and software firms on the Science Park to established engineering consultancies and infrastructure businesses. If you are a commercial professional in or around the city, we can introduce you to employers who need exactly your blend of technical understanding and sales ability, and help you move up rather than sideways.
A real commercial career, without leaving Devon
Exeter is the South West's fastest-growing knowledge economy outside Bristol, home to the Met Office, Exeter Science Park and a University with serious strengths in data science and AI. For technology and engineering businesses, it is the regional centre of gravity, and for sales professionals it offers the deepest pool of high-value commercial roles in Devon.
Exeter Science Park is home to more than 45 businesses across digital and AI, SaaS, life sciences, engineering, environmental technologies and defence and cybersecurity, alongside the Met Office and its supercomputer and the University of Exeter's Institute for Data Science and AI. The city has the second-highest concentration of knowledge-based services in the South West after Bristol, which makes it the natural centre for technology and engineering sales recruitment in the region.
