Job description

Are you a Surveyor or Geospatial professional who understands the technical side of the industry but has the personality, drive and ambition to build a career in sales?

Our client is looking for a technically minded individual with a background in Surveying, GIS, Mining, Construction or Civil Engineering to join their team in a sales role focused on Africa.

This is an opportunity to take your technical knowledge into a commercial environment, working with sophisticated surveying, geospatial and technology solutions. While previous sales experience would be advantageous, the right sales personality, resilience and hunger to succeed are equally important.

In this role, you will support the senior sales team by assisting with incoming enquiries and leads, preparing quotations, following up on opportunities and helping to ensure that customers receive the right technical solutions and support. You will work closely with experienced sales professionals while developing your product, industry and commercial knowledge. For the right person, this role offers the opportunity to grow into a more business development-focused position over time, with increased responsibility for developing new business across Africa.

If you have the technical foundation in surveying or a related field, but also possess the personality and drive to succeed in sales, this could be an excellent opportunity to launch your commercial career with a highly respected organisation.

What we are looking for:

• A degree or diploma in Surveying or an equivalent qualification – this is non-negotiable.
• 1–2 years' experience in a relevant field such as Surveying, GIS, Mining, Construction or Civil Engineering.
• A strong understanding of surveying, geospatial equipment, products or related technologies.
• Previous sales experience is advantageous, but not essential.
• A natural ability to connect with people and build relationships.
• A resilient, driven and target-oriented personality.
• Strong communication, presentation, negotiation and problem-solving skills.
• A genuine desire to build a successful career in sales.
• A willingness to learn, embrace technology and develop into a strong commercial professional.
• A valid, unendorsed driver's licence and own reliable transport.

Apply today and take your technical career in a new direction.
