Vacancies

Want to get involved with the tech that keeps structures standing?

Ever wondered what makes sure skyscrapers don't sink or offshore wind farms stay put? That's where we come in!

GDS Instruments invented computer-controlled soil testing 30+ years ago, and we're still the ones everyone looks to when understanding the ground beneath their feet really matters. From university labs pushing the boundaries of research to commercial labs testing every major construction project, our instruments are everywhere.

All our current vacancies are advertised below.


SALES ENGINEER

The Role
Drive sales across the UK while helping our international agents drive success in their territories. You'll be selling sophisticated testing systems (think £30K-£150K per sale) to people who genuinely care about precision and reliability.

What We're After
  • 5+ years selling complex equipment to labs
  • Someone who gets excited about technical challenges
  • Natural relationship builder who can handle long sales cycles
  • Ready to become the go-to expert in geotechnical testing
What You Get

  • Up to 50% travel (yes, real customer visits!)
  • Strategic projects beyond just selling
  • Chance to shape our revenue growth trajectory
  • Work with global leaders who actually know their stuff

The Best Bit

Every sale you make helps build safer infrastructure worldwide. Plus, we're investing in R&D and constantly evolving our systems, so you'll be selling tomorrow's technology, not yesterday's.
