  • Develop tailored proposals, solution configurations, and value cases aligned with customer priorities.
  • Build and continuously refine sales enablement content: slide decks, demo environments, case studies, FAQs, etc.
  • Maintain expert-level knowledge of our platform, industry trends, competitor offerings, and emerging technologies in prefab, off-site, and construction robotics.
  • Collaborate with the sales team to develop and deliver compelling proposals and value propositions.
  • Act as a bridge between sales, product, and engineering—translating customer feedback into product insights.
  • Support onboarding and initial technical setup post-sale, ensuring smooth handoff to factory implementation team or customer success.
  • Maintain a deep understanding of our product, competitors, and the broader market landscape. 
  • Maintain our SWOT analysis. All benchmarking and competitive information from the team is forwarded for consolidation. 
  • Represent the company at industry events, trade shows, or technical workshops as needed
What you'll need to succeed:
  • 3–6 years in a technical sales, pre-sales, sales engineering, or solution consulting role.
  • Degree or diploma in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Strong technical understanding of the homebuilding construction industry  
  • Experience supporting a consultative or solution-based sales process.
  • Excellent communication skills—you can clearly explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Customer-centric mindset with strong problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.
  • Comfort working cross-functionally in a fast-paced, scaling environment.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally to customer sites, tradeshows, or internal meetings.     
  • Familiarity with Revit, CAD Software, or related platforms. 
  • Experience with CRM systems ( HubSpot) and sales enablement tools.
