Technical Sales Engineer

KeyResponsibilities

. Technical Consultation & Advisory: Act as an expert advisor to client engineering teams, conducting site inspection,analysing failure modes, and providing tailored recommendations to optimizeefficiency and lower total cost of ownership.

. Relationship Building & AccountManagement: Build, nurture, and maintain strong, long-term advisor-clientrelationships across shipyards, vessel operators, mining sites, offshoreplatform contractors, and renewable energy EPCs.

. Cost-Effective Solution Engineering: Diagnose technical issues to specify high-performance, self-lubricating SBSbearings, bushings, and customized wear plates that maximize uptime and reduceoperating costs.

. Sales Target Execution & PipelineManagement: Own and drive the end-to-end sales process to achieve andexceed assigned annual sales targets, gross margin goals, and key performanceindicators (KPIs) through proactive pipeline generation and deal closure.

. Commercial Conversion & ValueSelling: Bridge the gap between engineering specifications and commercialterms by effectively articulating return on investment (ROI) and cost-benefitanalysis to decision-makers, successfully converting technical recommendationsinto signed purchase orders and recurring supply contracts.

. Application & Reverse EngineeringSupport: Partner closely with clients to offer reverse-engineeringsolutions, custom component dimensions, counter-surface recommendations, andupgrade proposals for OEM components prone to premature wear.

. Proposals & Tendering: Leadtechnical and commercial responses for RFPs, tenders, and custom manufacturingorders, presenting clear cost-benefit analyses, life-cycle efficiencyimprovements, and delivery timelines.
