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
