Description
On behalf of our client, a leading player in the distribution and service of industrial refrigeration solutions, including refrigeration compressors, we are seeking a results-driven Business Development Officer.
The successful candidate will be responsible for building a robust pipeline of customers across various sectors, including cold chain and food processing units (frozen foods, dairy, beverage, and brewing), ice production, pharmaceuticals, and horticulture.
The ideal candidate will spearhead the growth of the industrial refrigeration portfolio and take responsibility for identifying requirements for high-end refrigeration compressors, integrated solutions, and after-sales services.

Prior experience selling industrial equipment (Compressors, HVAC/R, Pumps, or Power Engineering products) is a significant advantage.
Required Skills & Attributes
The ability to translate complex engineering specifications into clear business benefits for non-technical clients.
Strong negotiation skills with a focus on value-based selling rather than just price.

3. Prepare tailored quotes and proposals, negotiate contracts, and ensure timely payment collection post-installation.
4. Build long-term partnerships with industrial plant owners, consultants, contractors, and technical decision-makers.
5. Act as the primary point of contact for technical clarifications, ensuring customers understand the ROI.
6. Monitor competitor activity and industry trends to refine the company’s competitive positioning.
7. Maintain meticulous records of sales activities and pipeline status via CRM tools.
8. Submit comprehensive weekly and monthly performance reports to management.
