Candidates must have a minimum of 10 years' relevant experience with submersible pumps.

You must be able to demonstrate practical experience in:

• Pump sizing
• Pump selection
• Understanding flow, head and application requirements
• Selecting suitable pumps for customer applications
• Providing technical pump advice
• Supporting mining and industrial pump applications

Experience with Dragflow, Xylem and/or Grundfos pumps will be highly advantageous.

A strong instrumentation background will be a definite advantage, particularly where this complements electrical and industrial technical experience.

Sales & Commercial Experience

• Proven technical internal sales experience.
• Strong quotation and costing experience.
• The ability to interpret technical customer requirements.
• Strong commercial awareness.
• Experience following up quotations and closing business.
• Confidence dealing directly with technical customers.

• Mining-sector customers
• Water and wastewater applications
• Power generation

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is an experienced technical salesperson who understands both the electrical and pump environments and can confidently engage with customers about their applications.

You should be equally comfortable discussing switchgear and circuit breaker selection as you are discussing pump sizing and selection.

Most importantly, you must be able to translate technical knowledge into practical customer solutions and ultimately into closed business.
