Role Overview Our client is seeking a commercially driven Technical Sales Engineer to lead client engagement, business development, and technical solution support for construction and infrastructure projects. This role combines a civil engineering foundation with a strong sales and client-facing focus, requiring the ability to interpret engineering requirements, translate them into winning proposals, and guide clients toward the right technical solutions. The ideal candidate will drive revenue growth and win new business while acting as a trusted technical advisor, supporting project teams, contractors, and clients through the sales and delivery cycle, and ensuring solutions meet regulatory, safety, and quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and develop new business opportunities within the construction and infrastructure sector.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with contractors, developers, consultants, and other key clients.

• Conduct client meetings and site visits to understand project requirements and identify sales opportunities.

• Prepare technical proposals, cost estimates, and quotations, and follow up to convert opportunities into sales.

• Translate engineering requirements into practical, client-ready solutions during proposals and technical discussions.

• Provide technical support and troubleshooting guidance to clients, contractors, and project teams as needed.

• Maintain an active sales pipeline, monitor market trends and competitor activity, and consistently follow up on prospects and accounts.

• Liaise between site teams, management, and clients to ensure smooth handoff from sale to delivery.

• Achieve agreed sales targets and maintain accurate sales activity reports.

• Qualifications & Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering.

• Professional certification or registration with COREN is an added advantage.

• 3–5 years of relevant experience in construction, infrastructure, or technical/B2B sales.

• Proven experience in technical sales, client-facing engineering, or solution-based selling is highly desirable.

• Proficiency in engineering design/CAD software is an advantage.

• Strong knowledge of building codes, safety regulations, and quality standards.

• Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Commercially driven, target-oriented, and able to manage multiple client relationships under pressure.

Ideal Candidate:

• A Civil Engineer who understands construction technically but is energized by selling, networking, and winning clients — this is a client-facing, revenue-driven role, not a purely site-based or design-focused one.
