Got a technical background and want to earn more than a fixed salary allows? A supplier of industrial conveyor systems, components, Filtration and machinery to factories and processing plants across South Africa is looking for an early-career, technically minded sales person. This isn't a desk job. You'll walk factory floors, inspect conveyor lines, take measurements, specify the right belts and components, and close the deal yourself. If you've worked on a plant, can read a technical drawing, and want your pay to match your effort, keep reading.
- A technical qualification: N4–N6, National Diploma or trade certificate in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics or Industrial Engineering (for example from SOLTECH, a TVET college or a University of Technology)
- 1- 3 years' experience in a plant, maintenance, workshop, technical sales or technical support role. You're comfortable around conveyors, drives, bearings or production lines.
- Some exposure to sales or client-facing work, or a strong drive to build a sales career
- Mechanically minded: you can measure, specify and explain a technical solution to a plant manager
- Competitive and target-driven. You want commission, not just a salary.
- Confident, presentable and good at building relationships
- Valid driver's licence and own reliable vehicle (essential)
- Visit factories and processing plants (food & beverage, manufacturing, mining-related and general industry)
- Measure and assess conveyor belts, systems and components on site
- Find what the client's line needs and recommend the right products and solutions
- Turn measurements and site findings into accurate quotes
- Find new clients through prospecting, cold calling and walking into plants in your area
- Run the full sales cycle, from first visit and measurement to quote, close and follow-up
- Grow existing accounts by spotting upsell and cross-sell opportunities
- Build long-term relationships with maintenance managers, engineers, buyers and plant managers
- Keep your pipeline, CRM and sales reports up to date
- Give feedback on competitor activity and market trends
- Basic salary plus uncapped earning potential: the harder you work, the more you earn
- Fuel card for business travel
- Hands-on product and technical training
- A route from the plant floor into a professional sales career
- Room to grow into senior sales or key account roles
- Exposure to leading clients in the food & beverage and industrial sectors
