Technology & engineering sales jobs in Newton Abbot
If you are a sales professional around Newton Abbot, the town's manufacturing and engineering base gives you something many areas lack: real commercial roles selling tangible, technical products. We work with employers across Heathfield and the wider Teignbridge area, helping experienced sales people find positions that use their technical fluency and reward it properly.
A real commercial career, without leaving Devon
Newton Abbot is one of Devon's most important manufacturing and engineering towns, home to the Heathfield Industrial Estate and dozens of production businesses, and positioned on the A38 Devon Expressway within easy reach of both Torbay and Exeter. It is a town built on making things, and businesses that make things need people who can sell them.
The Heathfield Industrial Estate between Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracey covers around 95 acres and is the largest of 32 industrial estates across the Teignbridge district, a dense concentration of manufacturing, engineering, fabrication and distribution businesses. Sitting directly on the A38, Heathfield reaches a catchment of close to half a million people within thirty minutes, which makes it a serious base for any business selling into the South West.
