Sales Executive (Engineering Consultancy)

Are you a high-performing Sales Professional ready to step out of the corporate machine and build something of your own?

We are a respected Engineering Consultancy looking for a dynamic, entrepreneurial Sales Executive to lead our business development efforts and eventually architect our entire sales department. This isn’t just a sales role; it’s a career-defining opportunity to shape the growth strategy of a premier structural and civil engineering firm.

Why This Role is Different:

• The Architect Advantage: You won’t just be following a script; you will be establishing the processes, reporting structures, and KPIs for a scalable sales function.
• Clear Path to Leadership: We are looking for the future leader of our Sales Department. Success in this role leads directly to Sales Manager and Director opportunities.
• High Impact: Work directly with senior leadership to secure major structural and civil engineering projects.

What You Will Do:

• Drive Growth: Identify and secure new business opportunities in the structural and civil engineering sectors.
• Build Partnerships: Cultivate long-term relationships with key stakeholders, including developers, architects, and government agencies.
• Set the Strategy: Develop and implement the sales roadmap to hit revenue targets and expand our market footprint.
• Collaborate: Partner with our expert engineering teams to craft winning bids, proposals, and presentations.

What We Are Looking For:

• Experience: 3–5 years of proven success in sales or business development (preferably within engineering, construction, or technical services).
• Technical Literacy: A solid understanding of structural and civil engineering consultancy services.
• The “Hustle” Factor: An entrepreneurial mindset. You are self-motivated and thrive as a “team of one” while building for the future.
• Communication Skills: You can negotiate complex deals and present technical solutions with confidence.
• Education: A degree or diploma in Business, Marketing, or Engineering is a plus, but your track record of results is what matters most.

What’s In It For You?

• Competitive Base Salary: Aligned with your experience.
• Uncapped Potential: An attractive commission structure plus performance-based bonuses.
• Professional Growth: Support for your ongoing development and a clear trajectory to senior management.
• Flexibility: We value results over “desk time” and offer flexible working arrangements.

Ready to Build the Future?

If you have the drive to turn opportunities into landmarks, we want to hear from you.
