Sales Representative Jobs in Rustenburg

Candidates searching for Sales Representative jobs in Rustenburg with substantial mining and electrical-industry experience can consider this opportunity with Armcoil Afrika (Pty) Ltd.

The company is looking for an experienced and well-connected sales professional to take ownership of its customer base across Rustenburg, the surrounding mining areas and the broader North West mining belt.

This vacancy is specifically aimed at an established sales professional. Armcoil makes clear that it is not a junior sales position. Applicants need hands-on sales experience involving transformers, substations, miniature substations or related mining electrical equipment.

The successful candidate will combine technical product knowledge with sales and business-development skills. The position involves maintaining existing customer relationships while identifying new opportunities with mines, contractors, original equipment manufacturers, EPCs and other relevant industry stakeholders.

Sales Representative Jobs in Rustenburg: About the Role

The Sales Representative will take responsibility for developing Armcoil Afrika’s business across an important mining territory.

A major part of the role involves maintaining and strengthening relationships with existing customers. However, this isn’t simply an account-management position.

The successful candidate must also actively identify and develop new business opportunities within the mining, industrial and electrical sectors.

Customer and site visits will form part of the position. These visits will help the representative understand customer requirements and identify potential sales opportunities.

Applicants should therefore be comfortable working directly with both technical and commercial decision-makers.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate’s responsibilities will include:

  • Managing and growing Armcoil Afrika’s customer base in Rustenburg and surrounding mining areas.
  • Identifying new sales and business-development opportunities.
  • Building relationships within the mining, industrial and electrical sectors.
  • Maintaining strong relationships with existing customers.
  • Identifying and engaging mines, contractors, OEMs and EPCs.
  • Conducting customer visits.
  • Conducting site visits to understand customer requirements.
  • Identifying potential sales opportunities during customer engagements.
  • Preparing quotations.
  • Following up on sales opportunities.
  • Driving opportunities through the sales process.
  • Providing customers with relevant technical product information.
  • Working with Armcoil’s technical team when additional technical input is required.
  • Identifying upcoming projects and tenders.
  • Monitoring potential equipment requirements within the territory.
  • Building and maintaining a strong sales pipeline.
  • Representing Armcoil professionally in the market.
  • Developing long-term customer relationships.
  • Working toward agreed sales and business-development targets.

These responsibilities have been independently organised and rewritten for JobMarketSA while retaining the factual requirements of the original vacancy.

Transformer and Substation Industry Experience

Applicants interested in these Sales Representative jobs in Rustenburg need relevant industry experience.

Armcoil states that proven experience in at least one of the following areas is essential:

  • Distribution transformers
  • Power transformers
  • Miniature substations
  • Mobile substations
  • Mining electrical equipment
  • Transformer repairs and related services

This is an important requirement.

JobMarketSA should not present this vacancy as suitable for inexperienced or entry-level sales applicants. Armcoil explicitly says the position is not junior and requires a candidate who already understands the products, industry and customer environment.

Mining Industry Network

Having an existing industry network is another important requirement.

Applicants need established relationships within the mining sector, particularly in North West.

Armcoil is specifically interested in candidates who already have connections across organisations such as mines, contractors, OEMs and EPCs.

This means that general retail or consumer-sales experience by itself would not satisfy the experience profile described in the advertisement.

The ideal applicant should already understand how sales and purchasing decisions work within the mining and electrical-equipment environment.

Technical Knowledge Requirements

This isn’t purely a relationship-sales position.

Applicants need a strong technical understanding of transformers, substations and associated electrical equipment.

The successful candidate will be expected to discuss customer requirements and provide technically relevant product information and solutions. Armcoil’s technical team can provide support where necessary, but the Sales Representative still needs sufficient technical understanding to engage customers effectively.

The advertisement also requires a solid understanding of the mining electrical environment.

Business Development

New-business generation is a central part of the position.

Candidates should have a proven record of finding new business opportunities and growing existing customer accounts.

The representative will also monitor the territory for future projects, tenders and equipment requirements.

Building a strong sales pipeline will therefore be an ongoing responsibility rather than simply responding to incoming customer enquiries.

Skills Required

Applicants should have:

  • Proven technical sales ability.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Good negotiation skills.
  • Strong relationship-building ability.
  • Commercial awareness.
  • Business-development skills.
  • The ability to work independently.
  • The ability to take ownership of an assigned territory.
  • Knowledge of the mining electrical environment.
  • Strong understanding of transformers and substations.
  • An established industry network.

The candidate must be capable of communicating effectively with both commercial and technical decision-makers.

Travel and Transport Requirements

Travel is an important part of this position.

The successful applicant must be willing to travel throughout Rustenburg and the surrounding mining areas.

Armcoil also specifically requires:

Valid driver’s licence: Yes
Own reliable transport: Yes

Don’t leave these requirements out of the JobMarketSA post because they may materially affect whether someone is eligible for the vacancy.

Salary and Benefits

PNet currently describes the remuneration as:

Basic salary + commission + benefits.

However, no actual basic salary, commission percentage or rand value for the benefits is published in the information available.

Therefore, your WordPress Salary field should not contain a guessed amount.

Use:

Salary: Basic + commission + benefits (amount not specified)

Or leave the numerical salary field blank if your theme expects an actual rand amount.

Who Should Apply?

This vacancy is best suited to an established technical sales professional who already has experience in the transformer, substation or mining electrical-equipment sector.

A particularly strong candidate would already have relationships with mines, contractors, OEMs or EPCs operating around Rustenburg and the wider North West mining belt.

Applicants should also have demonstrated experience developing new business, growing existing accounts and working independently across an assigned sales territory.

This is not an entry-level opportunity for someone trying to enter technical sales for the first time.
