Must-haves
- Strong communication skills (you’re clear, confident, and personable on the phone).
- Comfort with outbound calling, follow-up, and handling objections respectfully.
- Organized and detail-oriented (you keep accurate notes and don’t drop the ball).
- Coachable, curious, and ready to learn technical products and real-world use cases.
- Self-motivated and goal-driven - you like targets and you like hitting them.
- English – Native/Bilingual Professional Proficiency
Nice-to-haves
- Experience in SDR/BDR work, cold calling, inside sales, or customer-facing roles.
- Exposure to construction, surveying, engineering, geomatics, or field technology.

- Post-secondary education in Business, Marketing, Engineering, STEM - or equivalent experience.
Why you’ll like working here
- Competitive base salary + commission

- A supportive team that’s focused on helping customers succeed in the field
