Business Development Engineer — Export Markets

Giza, Egypt — with regular regional travel
Full time
Middle East & Africa

Open markets outside Egypt. Find and sign the distributors, then sell alongside them — and sell direct where that is the faster route.

What you will actually do

Identify, qualify and sign distributors and channel partners across the Middle East and Africa.
Carry a direct number as well. Some accounts you will run yourself, start to finish.
Train partners until they can hold their own first meeting, then join them on the deals that are worth your seat on a plane.
Agree territory terms with us — pricing bands, stock, demo units, who owns which account — and then hold partners to them.
Represent Inspector at regional exhibitions and technical events.
Report on every market honestly, including the ones that are not working. We would rather close a market early than fund it on optimism.

What we are looking for

You have sold a technical product outside your own market — through distributors, agents or direct export customers.
You can run a commercial negotiation in English. Arabic is essential. French is a real advantage for North and West Africa.
A valid passport and a travel history that suggests visas will not be a wall.
You are comfortable being the only person from the company in the room, a long way from the office.
You can tell the difference between a partner who is building a pipeline and one who is sitting on a territory.

Helps, but not required: An existing network of electrical, instrumentation or industrial-automation distributors in the Gulf or Africa.

On package

Competitive base plus a performance-based incentive scheme, discussed openly once we both know there is a fit. We do not publish a band — the right person at either end of the experience range moves the number enough that a published figure would mislead you. Tell us what you expect in the form and you will hear quickly whether we are in the same range, rather than finding out after four interviews.

Tell us what you have actually done.

We read every answer. Vague ones are the fastest way out of this process — and specific ones, even about a bad year, are the fastest way through it.
