Job Description

Are you a technically strong engineer with a passion for business development and solving real-world operational challenges? We are looking for a Sales & Technical Engineer to drive growth in our power plant services portfolio across the Northern Cape and Namibia.

 

This is a field-based, consultative role where you will be the face of our operations in the region. You will take ownership of the full sales lifecycle – from identifying new opportunities and conducting site audits, to preparing technical proposals and supporting the delivery of engineering projects.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Actively generate new business within power generation, renewables, manufacturing and infrastructure sectors.
  • Conduct site surveys and technical audits of mechanical and electrical systems.
  • Prepare detailed technical estimates and commercial proposals.
  • Lead technical tender submissions and ensure compliance with industry standards.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with Site Managers, Engineers and Directors.
  • Grow existing accounts through maintenance contracts and SLAs.

Requirements:

  • BTech or Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
  • 3–5 years’ experience in a technical engineering role, ideally within power generation.
  • Proven experience in lead generation, client engagement and technical sales.
  • Strong understanding of operational and maintenance environments.
  • Excellent commercial and consultative selling skills.
  • Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel to remote sites.

 

Ideal Candidate:

You are a self-driven “hunter” who enjoys being on site, engaging with clients, and translating technical problems into practical, cost-effective solutions. You are equally comfortable discussing ROI with executives and technical details with plant teams.

If you are looking for a high-impact role combining engineering and business growth, this opportunity is for you.
