SUMMARY:
If you have real traction in African mining sales, this is your next big move.

POSITION INFO:
A global leader in separation and mineral processing technology is looking for a proven External Sales Engineer to grow its footprint across the African mining market. This role is for a commercially strong mechanical sales professional with existing mining relationships, trusted traction in the market, and the drive to hunt, win, and grow major accounts across Africa.

• 5+ years external technical sales experience in the mining or heavy industrial sector.
• Proven traction and connections within the African mining industry.

• Valid driver’s licence and a willingness to travel extensively into Africa.

• Develop and grow sales across African mining operations and project houses (EPCM/EPC).
• Leverage existing mining relationships to open doors and drive new revenue.
• Promote technical solutions to Plant Engineers, metallurgy teams, and decision-makers.
• Conduct site visits, technical presentations, and solution scoping.
• Prepare quotations, proposals, and commercial offers.
• Forecast sales, manage your pipeline, and report on regional performance.
• Build long-term strategic partnerships with mines, consultants, and contractors.
• High-level negotiation skills and a strong commercial mindset.
• Must be fully self-managed, disciplined, and performance driven.
