About this job

The scientific instrumentation sector plays a vital role in advancing research and innovation across pharma, biotech, environmental testing, food safety, and academia. As scientific discovery accelerates, so does the need for precision instruments and expert support.

Our client is a global leader in scientific technology, providing mass spectrometry and chromatography solutions that power some of the most critical research and production environments. Their instruments and services help scientists and technicians generate reliable data, ensure compliance, and bring innovations to market faster. From analytical chemists in pharma labs to quality control teams in food production, their clients rely on them for accuracy, service, and partnership.

As a Sales Representative, you'll act as a trusted advisor to scientific clients across the Southeast UK. You’ll be understanding the scientific goals of your customers and tailoring solutions that support their workflows. You’ll engage with a mix of existing accounts and new prospects, supported by an established brand and product reputation.

What sets this role apart? You won’t be siloed from the technical teams, you will operate with the support of technical, applications and product specialists, to collaborate with customers. You’ll be empowered to make a real impact and be seen to add value to customers research.


This role suits a salesperson who is driven, and naturally comfortable engaging with technical stakeholders. You should enjoy asking questions, understanding challenges, and recommending meaningful solutions, take pride in your work and value relationships built on trust, not just transactions.


You want to be part of a mission-driven company where science and service matter. If you’re looking for more than just hitting targets and instead want to be part of a collaborative, respected team that enables innovation this is the place.

The successful candidate requires:

  • A bachelor’s (minimum) scientific degree in Chemistry or related subject
  • Scientific capital instruments sales experience and/or strong technical experience with relevant techniques
  • UK Drivers Licence
  • Right to work in the UK without sponsorship

The role offers a basic salary of £50,000 to £60,000 depending on experience, plus uncapped commission with realistic OTE of 25% on top. Additional perks include a company car or allowance, private healthcare, pension, and strong learning and development resources.
