We offer a competitive salary package based on experience together with a performance-based incentive structure.

You will work alongside experienced technical and operational staff who can assist with designing and delivering more complex customer solutions.

For the right salesperson, this provides the opportunity to build substantial long-term customer relationships, recurring revenue and larger technology projects.
