You must bring at least 10 years’ experience in steel fabrication. Ventilation systems, Fans, or Heavy Industry Applications are advantageous. With a proven track record in business development and sales. Your technical know-how in fabrication must be matched with operational and project management capability. Experience in estimating, pricing, and team leadership is essential, along with the ability to build or refine divisional systems and processes.

What you’ll get
