Civil and structural engineer with sales leadership experience driving regional B2B growth and contract delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a civil and structural engineer who has transitioned into regional sales and operations, combining technical project experience with customer-focused sales execution. I have managed cylinder gas and short-term car rental sales, provided after-sales support, and consistently worked to meet and exceed targets within corporate frameworks.
Earlier I worked on structural design and assessment, earthquake performance evaluation, tender preparation, cost studies, and contract finalization, giving me strong commercial awareness and contract management skills. I have experience coordinating with subcontractors, managing project progress, and completing final accounts.
I bring disciplined, team-oriented leadership grounded in military recruitment and mobilization experience, with strong English skills (IELTS) and practical experience in construction supervision and project delivery. I look to apply both engineering judgment and sales acumen in roles that value client relationships, reliable execution, and measurable growth.
