Business Development Engineer, Asia-Pacific

An engineering company at heart, a first mover OEM by nature. They have spent years leading on marine technology, and competitors are still catching up.
 
Angle Recruitment has partnered exclusively with a high end international marine engineering business. It runs a serious R&D engine, and its equipment is trusted on premium leisure, passenger, offshore and naval vessels worldwide. The Asia-Pacific business is established and ready to scale, and this hire sits at the heart of that.
 
The role
You will sell to shipyards across Asia-Pacific, opening new accounts and growing the ones already on the books. Orders typically run from $50k to $1m. Commercial enough to win the order, technical enough to support the project through to start up and commissioning, and troubleshoot when needed.
 
This is a remote role with plenty of travel across the region, including mainland China and Taiwan, plus occasional trips to Europe and the US. Singapore, Hong Kong or China all work as a base. You will report to the Managing Director.
 
What you bring

• Sales or business development experience in marine or industrial equipment, selling into shipyards
• A genuinely technical background, with the confidence to hold your own with a yard's engineering and project teams and support start ups on board
• Strong communication skills, in front of a yard owner or a commissioning crew
• Existing relationships with newbuilding yards in Asia
• Freedom to travel across the whole region, including China and Taiwan, and to hold a long term US visa
• Chinese language skills will be a real advantage

 
Why it's worth a conversation

• A high end, niche product with no Asian manufacturer competing
• A real hand in accelerating growth across Asia-Pacific
• Privately owned and engineering led
• Remote working with the freedom to run your own region
• Competitive salary and rewarding bonus
