Technical Sales Manager - Industrial Automation
HRnet One
Posted 11 days ago
About the Opportunity
Our client, a leading global industrial automation solutions provider, is growing their Singapore commercial team and looking for someone with a strong technical foundation who's ready to build a career in solutions sales. You'll work across PLC, SCADA, and DCS-based automation solutions, supporting customers in manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities, and healthcare — learning the full sales cycle while your engineering background does the heavy lifting on credibility.
This is a great next step for someone who's technically sharp, commercially curious, and wants to move from a purely engineering or applications role into a customer-facing one — or who's already dipping a toe into technical sales and wants a platform to grow.
What You'll Own
Identify automation solution opportunities across campaigns, services, and distribution channels
Support and help execute the sales strategy for your accounts, working toward shared targets
Present solutions to customers with a consultative approach — translating technical capability into business value
Help qualify and develop opportunities, working closely with senior sales and technical teams from first conversation through to proposal
Prepare technical and commercial proposals in collaboration with internal engineering teams
Build genuine relationships with customers and become a reliable point of contact
Keep a pulse on automation market trends and relevant regulatory or industry updates
What We're Looking For
3–5 years of experience in industrial automation — this could be in sales, applications engineering, or a technical support role with customer exposure
A degree or diploma in Electrical, Electronics, Control, Instrumentation, or Mechatronics Engineering
Solid technical grounding in systems integration, IIoT, or manufacturing operations; working familiarity with PLC/SCADA/DCS is important
Comfortable engaging both technical and business stakeholders — you don't need to be the most senior person in the room to hold your own
Self-motivated, curious, and genuinely interested in how automation solves real operational problems
Prior exposure to Oil & Gas industries is a plus
