Key Account Manager
Strategic – Driven – Technically Credible
Your focus will be to grow Sarens’ small and mid-size projects across South Africa. You activate your network, open doors with contractors and industrial operators, and turn day-to-day lifting and transport challenges into safe, reliable solutions using our equipment including SPMTs, skidding and jacking equipment and heavy cranes. By building a strong pipeline of shorter-cycle work, you strengthen our footprint beyond the big, one-off projects. You work with real autonomy, with the option of remote working and backed by experienced Operations and Engineering teams.
Join the force behind #NOTHING TOO HEAVY, NOTHING TOO HIGH
Your job in a nutshell:
- You maintain close contact with existing customers, visiting them regularly to identify future needs and ensure ongoing satisfaction.
- You search out and build new contacts, expanding our customer base through active prospecting: processing unsolicited enquiries, researching future projects, and representing Sarens proudly at trade fairs and networking events when needed.
- You identify customer requirements, give comprehensive advice on our services, translate the lifting challenge into a technical solution using Sarens equipment, and prepare a tailored tender (with support from Engineering or Sales Support when required).
- You report directly to the Business Unit Manager and work closely with all departments.
