Sales Engineer / Senior Sales Engineer (Hunter) - Lift Modernisation

🌍 Who are we?

Operating across Europe and Asia, WeMaintain specialises in the maintenance and modernisation of lifts and escalators, combining hands-on technical expertise with technology and data.

Our approach is built on a simple belief: maintenance can be more reliable, transparent and effective when teams have the right tools, the autonomy to make decisions and a clear understanding of what’s happening across the equipment they look after.

Since 2026, Otis has been our majority shareholder. WeMaintain continues to operate independently, retaining its own organisation and culture while benefiting from additional resources to support our growth.

Three core values guide the way we work every day:

• Care (looking after others): treating colleagues and customers with respect, consideration and a genuine sense of responsibility.

• Grit (determination): seeing things through with high standards, commitment and perseverance.

• Uniqueness (being different): embracing different perspectives, fresh ideas and new ways of doing things.

Our ambition is to raise the standards of maintenance, alongside the people who make it happen every day.

👑 About the Role

This is a newly created role dedicated to lift modernisation sales in Singapore, separate from our maintenance contracts business. You won’t be taking over an existing book: you’ll build this activity from the ground up and shape how it grows. You’ll combine the pace and ownership of a challenger with the solidity of Otis behind us.

We modernise lifts from all manufacturers, so your proposals start from each building and its needs, whatever brand is installed. You’ll be backed by our technical team for solution design and costing, so you can focus on your customers and on closing.

We are hiring at both Sales Engineer and Senior Sales Engineer level, and the scope will match your experience. Initially, you’ll report to Samson, our Managing Director in Singapore. The reporting line will move to a Head of Sales once that role is filled.

Job Responsibilities

• Identify and approach potential customers for lift modernisation and new installation projects.

• Build customer relationships and understand their modernisation needs.

• Review opportunities and tenders, and coordinate bid preparation and submission.

• Prepare commercial proposals and lead negotiations through to contract signature.

• Work with our technical team to assess opportunities and make sure every proposal can be delivered.

• Maintain an active, well-tracked pipeline of qualified opportunities.

Is this role for you?

This role will suit someone who enjoys opening doors and working through long, complex sales cycles. It is less suited to someone looking mainly to manage an existing portfolio, handle renewals or work on inbound leads.

Job Requirements

• Sales or business development experience in the vertical transportation industry

• Strong hunter mindset, with a proactive approach to winning new business

• Confident in prospecting, building relationships and negotiating

• Able to manage opportunities independently, or keen to grow into full ownership of the sales cycle

• Senior level: proven track record of closing complex modernisation or new installation projects

• Professional fluency in English

Good to Have

• Established network in Singapore’s property management, facilities management or built environment sectors

• Experience selling lift modernisation or new installations

• Knowledge of SS 550 and BCA lift regulations

• Tender experience, including coordinating technical and commercial inputs

• Knowledge of Singapore’s lift market

• Familiarity with Salesforce or another CRM

If you don’t tick every box but the role excites you, we’d still like to hear from you.

🎁 What We Offer

• Sales incentive scheme

• Medical insurance (hospital and surgical, outpatient, dental)

• Annual leave and public holiday entitlements

• Hybrid working and autonomy in how you manage your territory

• A collaborative, international team

• Career development and internal mobility opportunities
