Technical Sales Engineer

Redhill Search, LLC
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 1/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/7/2026

Job Description

The TECHNICAL SALES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM is the premier opportunity for you to learn consultative, solution-based sales. Sales professionals work in a highly professional and fast-paced office an average of two days a week, while three days a week they visit manufacturers in a sales territory so that they can consult face-to-face on solving customers’ critical quality control, reliability, and research or design applications. The Technical Sales Development Program is your opportunity to gain the training necessary to become an entry-level, direct sales professional. Sales Associates enter a program consisting of classroom training, on-the-job learning, and mentorship. The training program begins with a period of classroom training which typically lasts 1 to 3 months dependent on product line. While our products are highly technical, you will receive the training to become an expert on our products, solving applications, following our pro-active sales process, and conducting successful sales consultations. After successful completion of the Sales Associate classroom training, you will be promoted to Sales Engineer, initiating the on-the-job training phase of the development program. Included in your on-the-job training is a formal mentorship program, typically lasting from 4 to 6 months, which utilizes coaching to reinforce product and application training and develop your sales skills while you become responsible for customers in your own sales territory. Responsibilities and Duties
  • Attend product and application training at our Career Development Institute.
  • Develop a thorough understanding of our products and applications through classes, seminars, and on-the-job training.
  • Work with experienced salespeople to develop sales skills through real life examples and role-plays.

  • Provide technical consultation and service to customers to help solve their applications using company products.
  • Demonstrate a high degree of flexibility in adapting to corporate expectations and the challenges customers present you.
