Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a technical sales engineer I help salespeople sell technical products in various sectors. I explain all technical aspects of a product simply and provide post-sales support. Technical engineers may attend exhibitions, meet with clients, and liaise with production engineers. I also make product improvement recommendations and decide on the right products depending on their requirmenets
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was in charge with so many things, such as: generating weekly, monthly and yearly reports for my manager and my team; I trained other colleagues globally or from different departments, I was given the responsibility/opportunity to decide on housing & filters for water systems and do some engineering calculations on my own
