  • Understand site‑specific needs and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to develop new products and services.
  • Maintain strong relationships with key decision‑makers within existing and potential client organizations.
  • Participate in industry events, conferences, and networking activities to build brand awareness and generate leads.
  • Support marketing and promotional initiatives targeted at increasing brand visibility and market share.
  • Encourage customer feedback to identify growth business opportunities.

  • Knowledge of chemical analysis techniques, reagent handling, and equipment used in on‑site labs.
  • Understanding of proposal writing, cost estimation, and technical sales in the mining industry.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to build relationships with clients and technical teams.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills to identify client needs and propose tailored solutions.
  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for clients.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other tools for managing data, budgeting, and forecasting.
  • Project management skills to support timelines, deliverables, and client expectations.
  • Demonstrated professionalism and flexibility in working independently and with teams without a direct line of accountability.
  • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to prioritize effectively.
  • Excellent verbal and written English communication skills.
  • Proven ability to thrive in remote mining environments and adapt to field conditions.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities, balancing client engagement with technical support.
  • Self‑motivation and a proactive mindset to identify and pursue business opportunities.
