This is a hands-on, 0-to-1 role. For the first 12 months you will personally find, negotiate and close export orders. As volumes grow, you will build and lead the BD team.

- An active network among GCC/African EPC contractors, pipe stockists or project procurement teams

- Strong technical knowledge of pipe specifications, grades, testing and certifications (API 5L, MTC 3.1, TPI)

- Working knowledge of Incoterms, LCs and export documentation. Familiarity with export incentives (RoDTEP, drawback) and ECGC cover is a plus
