Job description

Technical Sales Representative – Conveyor & Industrial Solutions (JB6306)
Alberton, Johannesburg
R20 – R25 000 CTC basic per month + incentives + fuel card
Permanent

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.

Minimum Requirements:

• 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)

Duties and Responsibilities:

• On-site technical sales
• 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
• Business development
• 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
• Relationships and reporting
• 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

What's in it for you?

• 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
