Sales Engineer
Salary: Market related
Duration: Permanent
Technical sales hunter with a passion for mining and industrial clients.
Is this you?
You’re driven, proactive, and not afraid to chase new business. You thrive in a competitive environment where mediocrity isn’t tolerated and results matter. Confident in your ability to build strong client relationships, you bring a consultative approach to sales and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves at events and expos. If you’re self-motivated, accountable, and love the challenge of closing deals, you’ll fit right in.
What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
You’ll be identifying and securing new business opportunities within the mining and industrial sectors across South Africa. Using a solution-based sales approach, you’ll engage with clients to understand their needs and offer tailored premium product solutions. You’ll maintain and grow long-term client relationships, attend expos and industry events, and travel regularly to develop business in key regions. You’ll also handle quoting, admin, and reporting independently, ensuring full ownership of the sales cycle from lead to close.
Where you’ll be doing it
You’ll join a well-established company that’s part of a respected global group, known for supplying premium industrial products. Their high-performance team is driven, collaborative, and committed to excellence. You’ll be part of a culture that values initiative, resilience, and growth—backed by strong leadership and a winning mindset.
What you’ll need
You’ll need Matric at minimum, with a technical qualification (such as Electrical) being highly advantageous. A proven track record in technical or industrial sales—especially within the mining sector—is essential. You must be confident working independently, have strong communication and negotiation skills, and be willing to travel and work irregular hours during exhibitions and events.
What you’ll get
You’ll receive a market-related basic salary, plus a car allowance, medical aid, pension scheme, and an annual performance bonus. More than that, you’ll gain the opportunity to thrive in a supportive yet competitive team environment that rewards results and initiative.
