• Act as a senior point of contact for key accounts, ensuring high levels of client satisfaction and repeat business.

• Prepare and present detailed technical proposals, lighting design concepts, and commercial quotations tailored to project requirements and budgets.
• Review tender documents, BOQs, and consultant specifications to ensure correct product selection and full compliance.
• Negotiate pricing, contract terms, and supply agreements with clients, contractors, and manufacturers to close orders profitably.
• Collaborate with manufacturer representatives and technical teams to deliver customised lighting solutions, mock-ups, and value-engineering alternatives.

• Oversee order handling, delivery scheduling, and documentation (product data sheets, photometric reports, warranties, and certifications) to ensure on-time project delivery.
• Monitor active projects to ensure alignment with client timelines, budget constraints, and technical specifications.
• Resolve post-sale technical issues and coordinate with suppliers to manage warranties, replacements, and site support.

• Identify and pursue new project opportunities in commercial, hospitality, retail, government, healthcare, and infrastructure segments across Kuwait.
• Conduct ongoing market research to track competitor activity, new project awards, and emerging lighting technology trends.
• Evaluate and expand the company's lighting product portfolio in response to market demand and project requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Architecture, or a related discipline (preferred).
• Minimum 8 years of lighting project sales experience in Kuwait, with a demonstrated track record of managing medium and large-scale projects from specification to delivery.
• Strong existing network of relationships with engineering consultants, MEP contractors, and procurement decision-makers in the Kuwait market.
