Technical Sales Rep - Cape Town + Johannesburg
O'Brien Recruitment Cape Town
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.
- 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.
