Negotiate to protect value while ensuring clear, competitive proposals aligned to customer needs by geography and programme.

Proven sales success within the data centre ecosystem (hyperscale/colocation/enterprise) with a track record of influencing design, winning specification and converting to order.
Desirable: direct experience selling support systems and/or cable management systems into data centres (e.g., containment, modular supports, brackets, trays, baskets, ladder, accessories) through contractors and distribution.
Engineering solutions sales background with the credibility to discuss load/space constraints, routing strategies, install methods, and compliance in a design-review setting.
Consultative selling approach, capable of value engineering, TCO and programme‑driven proposals rather than commodity quotes.
Strong relationships with main contractors, MEP subcontractors, and relevant distribution partners; comfortable navigating frameworks and regional delivery models.
Commercial acumen across pricing, margin discipline, and long‑cycle project negotiation.
