Job description
Saudi Energy and its subsidiaries are the anchor accounts for this Riyadh-based sales position at Hitachi Energy. Relationships reach beyond the utility to EPCs, consultants and the decision-makers who shape purchasing. You will promote the full product and system portfolio, including Transformers, HV Products & Capacitor Banks, and build value-based solutions around utility and EPC project requirements. Sales negotiations and commercial term development are led by you, with every offer checked against technical, financial and commercial requirements such as pricing strategy, payment, delivery, contract compliance and risk assessment. Pipeline reviews happen regularly, and corrective actions follow when targets slip. Customer presentations cover product features, economic justification and differentiation. Behind the scenes there is proposal support, order-logging, risk reviews and close contact with Hitachi Energy factories, market managers and the Product Marketing Team. SFDC is the main sales tool, and keeping it current is part of the routine. Most candidates hold an Electrical Engineering Degree, bring 3 to 5 years of experience and work in both English and Arabic.
