About This Role
This role blends technical engineering knowledge with commercial sales responsibility. You will act as the bridge between Hagbes’ product offerings and the practical needs of clients, requiring you to both identify new business opportunities and maintain existing relationships. It suits a mechanically trained professional who prefers client-facing work over pure design or fieldwork, and who can translate engineering specs into persuasive proposals.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The requirement for a BSc in Mechanical Engineering signals that the employer values technical credibility over general sales experience. They are looking for someone who can speak the language of engineers and project managers, not just close deals. This implies a role where trust and technical accuracy are as important as sales targets, meaning the ideal candidate combines discipline-specific knowledge with communication and negotiation skills.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should highlight any previous experience where you successfully managed client relationships or presented technical solutions. Emphasize your ability to explain complex engineering concepts simply, and provide examples of how you have identified new markets or resolved customer issues. Since Hagbes likely values professionalism and reliability, tailor your CV to show consistent follow-through and results in both sales and technical roles.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a mechanical engineer with 3–5 years of experience who enjoys the business side of engineering and wants to move away from purely technical tasks. Competition is moderate, as the position requires a specific technical background that not all sales professionals possess.
