Technical Sales Representative (Group)

Open 55d

We are a well-established, diversified engineering group, seeking two driven and commercially astute Technical Sales Representatives to join our team at a group level. This is a strategic sales role for individuals who can think beyond individual products and position the group as an integrated, end-to-end process flow solution to clients across multiple high-value sectors.

You will be the face of the group to the market — combining deep technical knowledge with consultative selling skills to engage decision-makers at all levels, understand complex operational challenges, and present compelling, solution-led proposals.


As a Technical Sales Representative, you will be responsible for:

Selling the organisation's full suite of engineering products and service solutions across targeted industries

Identifying, developing, and managing a pipeline of new business opportunities across key sectors

Building and maintaining strategic relationships with procurement, engineering, and operations decision-makers

Conducting technical presentations, site visits, and solution demonstrations

Preparing detailed proposals, tenders, and quotations in collaboration with various teams in house

Meeting and exceeding agreed revenue targets and key performance indicators

Maintaining accurate records of sales activities, pipeline, and client interactions via Zoho CRM

Providing market intelligence and competitor insights to inform the organisation's commercial strategy



Requirements

Tertiary qualification in Engineering, Sales, or a related field

5 to 8 years of proven technical sales experience

Demonstrated track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets and quotas

Proficiency in CRM systems for pipeline and activity management

Own reliable vehicle and valid South African driver's license



Beyond the technical requirements, the ideal candidate will be:

An intelligent, strategic thinker who can connect client pain points to solutions

Commercially sharp with the ability to engage credibly at executive and technical levels

Self-motivated and disciplined — able to manage a complex, long-cycle sales process independently

A natural relationship builder who earns trust quickly and maintains it over time

Articulate, confident, and persuasive in both formal presentations and informal engagements

Resilient and target-driven with a competitive but collaborative approach
