This is a consultative, specification-driven sales role that requires both technical aptitude and strong relationship-building skills. The successful candidate will work closely with engineering firms during the design stage to ensure our systems are specified in tenders, and then support contractors during the bidding and execution phases.

• Negotiate and close sales contracts, ensuring successful handoff to project management and operations.

4. Market Intelligence & Reporting

• Maintain a sales pipeline using the CRM (HubSpot).
• Monitor competitor activity and emerging market opportunities.
• Provide monthly updates on sales performance, pipeline status, and key accounts.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Excellent communication and presentation skills; experience conducting lunch-and-learn sessions is ideal.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage a long and complex sales cycle.
• Valid Ontario driver’s license and ability to travel within the GTA.

Personal Attributes:

• Technically curious with a consultative sales style.
• Professional, confident, and comfortable speaking to engineers and developers.
• Self-starter who thrives in a growth-oriented, entrepreneurial environment.
• Passionate about sustainability and water conservation.

Career Opportunity:
