TECHNICAL SALES ENGINEER (FOOD & BEVERAGE FILTRATION)

Salary: R550 000 – R750 000 CTC
Randburg, Gauteng

If you can walk into a food or beverage plant and immediately detect where efficiency, hygiene or quality is being compromised, this role has your name all over it.

This isn't typical technical sales.
This is engineering influence with commercial firepower.

Why this role is different

You'll work with premium filtration and separation technology that directly affects consistency, flavour, clarity, microbiological stability and line efficiency.
You become the person production teams trust when there's a bottleneck, an off-spec batch, or an opportunity to improve output.

• Lead plant audits and uncover hidden processing losses
• Improve quality, hygiene and throughput with engineered solutions
• Support and grow a strong F&B client portfolio
• Transform technical insights into commercial wins
• Build long-term, high-value relationships with major food producers

You'll thrive if you:

• Understand membranes (RO, UF, NF) in real production environments
• Love advising clients on cost-in-use and process optimisation
• Enjoy combining engineering thinking with sales strategy
• Want to be recognised as the F&B filtration expert in Gauteng

Requirements

• 3–5+ years in technical sales within food, beverage, dairy, brewing or FMCG processing
• Strong understanding of filtration technologies (RO, UF, NF, microfiltration)
• Experience conducting plant audits, hygiene assessments or process optimisation
• BSc/BTech in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering or similar
• Proven track record managing key accounts and expanding territory revenue
• Ability to interpret process flows, cost-in-use factors and line efficiency metrics
• Competent in running field tests, trials and performance evaluations
• Valid drivers licence + willingness to travel across Gauteng
• Confidence engaging production managers, QA, engineering teams and procurement
