Sales Executive – Rope Access Industry

Locations:

  • Cape Town Branch (2 positions)
  • Johannesburg Branch (1 position)

If you’re the kind of person who thrives on technical challenges and has a knack for closing deals, we need you. We’re looking for three Sales Executives to handle rope-access projects from start to finish—no cutting corners.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Site Inspections & Quotations
  • Visit client sites, assess needs (painting, waterproofing, maintenance).
  • Review plans, calculate material and labour costs on the spot, and deliver clear, accurate quotes.
  • Generate New Business
  • Identify and approach potential clients in construction and industrial maintenance.
  • Build lasting relationships with decision-makers.
  • Sales Follow-Through
  • Own each project from quotation to completion: prepare the job card, handle all admin, and coordinate with operations.
  • Ensure every cost and budget line is correct—if it’s wrong, we don’t get paid.
  • Technical Support & Problem Solving
  • Advise clients on proven procedures (painting, waterproofing, building maintenance, rope access techniques).
  • Anticipate issues, recommend solutions, and keep the project on track.
Who You Are
  • Industry Experience
  • Solid background in construction, project planning and costing, and general building/industrial maintenance.
  • Hands-on knowledge of painting, waterproofing—and rope access experience is a major advantage.
  • Sales Savvy
  • You live by numbers: costings, budgets, profit margins—you know how to make a deal that actually makes money.
  • You translate technical details into plain language for clients and colleagues.
  • Communication & Languages
  • Fluent in English and Afrikaans; Xhosa is a definite bonus.
  • Confident and firm when speaking with principals or project managers.
  • Personal Attributes
  • Problem-solver: you see challenges coming and have solutions ready.
  • Self-starter: you drive your own leads and manage your pipeline.
  • Detail-oriented: one misplaced zero could cost us—accuracy is non-negotiable.

How to Apply

Attached your CV. Make sure to highlight your rope-access (or related) experience, a recent project you quoted end-to-end, and the languages you speak.
