As a executive recruiter, I keep my eye on commercial market trends around the US. One sign of the beginning of any recessionary recovery that headhunters monitor, is the increase of Sales Engineering job opening.

Much of technology is so complicated that companies need a “engineer with a personality” to follow up with a client after the salesman has made a sale. Sales engineers are critical in filling that gap between the initial sale of a product and the operation of that product.

Three months ago, internet search aggregators reports less than 100 total sales engineering jobs available in the U.S. Today, Indeed.com (the top search aggregator) reports 22, 718 sales engineering job openings and SimplyHired reports 14, 696 sales engineering jobs available in the U.S.

Industries that are seeing this growth include Telecom,. Information Technology, software, hardware, lighting, excavating, and energy.

“companies are now realizing that sales people drive revenue and profit and without these components, the company will not survive, especially in this economy” – Bryan Webb, PE  North American Sales Manager AZZ
