We’re looking for a highly driven Account Manager to take ownership of a territory across the Eastern Cape construction market (Based in PE). This opportunity is for someone who thrives on being in front of customers, creating opportunities and turning them into results.

You won’t simply manage an existing customer base. You’ll be expected to build relationships, grow market share, identify new opportunities and take ownership of your territory as if it were your own business.

This is not an ordinary sales role. It’s an opportunity to join a high-performing, supportive culture where you’ll be challenged to deliver results, encouraged to develop and given the responsibility to make a real impact.

What You'll Do You will be responsible for driving sales growth within an assigned territory by managing opportunities and meeting sales targets. The role involves working across diverse environments construction sites, plants, offices, and warehouses. You will build strong relationships with partners, contractors, system integrators, and end users, while growing key products and successfully introducing new ones.

The position requires ensuring effective customer coverage to achieve profitable growth, actively demonstrating and supporting Hilti products, and maintaining a strong understanding of the market and competitors through ongoing research and monthly reporting

What You’ll Bring To be successful in this role, you will need:

• Completed Bachelor’s degree.
• Minimum 3-5 years working experience in a Construction related role.
• A solid understanding of strategic sales and sales processes, with exposure to developing a fact base, customer data analysis and pricing.
• Successful experiences in working with large sales teams
• Evidence networking across multidisciplinary teams – that includes relationship development at senior management level (Owner, GM, CEO, HOD’s)
• Demonstrable experience in developing client-focused, differentiated and achievable solutions.
• Effective communication skills, including the ability to structure clear presentations and simplify a message
• Willingness to go the extra mile.

What’s In It for You We want you to perform at your best, so we’ll provide the tools, development and support you need to succeed, including a fully equipped company vehicle and personalised one-to-one coaching. You’ll manage your own portfolio of customers and have the autonomy to run your territory like your own business, while having the backing of a supportive and collaborative team.

You’ll be trusted with meaningful responsibility from the start. Reporting to your Sales Manager, you’ll receive ongoing coaching, training and professional development designed to challenge you and help you grow.

For ambitious people, the Account Manager role can be much more than just your next position. It can be an opportunity to build your commercial experience, broaden your capabilities and open doors to future roles across the wider business.
