Technology & engineering sales jobs in Torquay
If you are a sales professional in or around Torquay, you already know the trade-off most roles ask of you: stay local and accept a narrower set of opportunities, or commute up the A380 towards Exeter for more choice. We work with technology and engineering businesses across Torbay and the wider bay who need experienced sales people, so you can build a serious commercial career without leaving the coast you live on.
A real commercial career, without leaving Devon
Torquay sits at the heart of the English Riviera and Torbay's wider economy, a place better known for its seafront than its sales floors, but one with a genuine and growing base of technology and engineering employers. Torbay is recognised nationally for its electronics and photonics cluster, and the bay's businesses increasingly need commercial people who can sell complex products into specialist markets.
Torbay is home to one of the South West's recognised electronics and photonics clusters, anchored by the Electronics and Photonics Innovation Centre (EPIC) in neighbouring Paignton and a long manufacturing heritage across the bay. Roughly one in twenty jobs across Devon and Torbay sits in high-tech industries, and the businesses behind those numbers need salespeople who can translate technical capability into commercial growth.
