Job description

We are looking for a Technical Sales Specialist/Sales Engineer who deeply understands industrial electronic process instrumentation—someone who can confidently look at a P&ID and discuss complex loops for flow, level, pressure, temperature, and liquid analysis.

This isn't a role for someone selling basic mechanical gauges or running simple transactional retail sales. This role is about representing a global Tier-1 OEM directly in the Cape Town market.

This is a highly technical, consultative sales environment where you will solve critical process challenges across mining and minerals processing, water and wastewater utilities, petrochemical hubs, and the food & beverage sector.

If you have the engineering aptitude to understand the physics of complex fluids inside a pipe and the commercial drive to interface with control-room automation teams, PLC/SCADA integrators, and consulting engineers then this might be the role for your. The company provides the direct multinational backing, local calibration infrastructure, and cutting-edge portfolio to dominate your territory.

Minimum Requirements

• Good to great knowledge in industrial electronic process instrumentation.
• BEng/BSc/BTech/Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, or equivalent.
• At least 2 years specifically in this field as a Sales Engineer/Technical Sales Specialist with a proven sales track record. 5+ years might be preferred.
• South African Citizen
• Valid Drivers License, and reliable own vehicle (car allowance will be provided, as well as petrol allowance).
• No criminal record (this will be verified).
• Already reside in the Cape Town region, with an established Cape Town network in industrial processing/manufacturing.
• Fully professional capability in both Afrikaans and English (verbal and written).

Strong basic with bonus and commission/incentive bonus is on offer. Serious applicants only.
