About the Role
We’re looking for a Part Time Sales Engineer to help launch and grow Civ Robotics across Australia and New Zealand.
As our first hire in the region, you’ll play a key role in helping prospective and existing customers understand, evaluate, deploy, and successfully adopt Civ Robotics in real-world construction environments. This is a highly customer-facing, field-oriented role that sits at the intersection of sales, solutions consulting, deployment support, and customer success.
This is a highly customer-facing, field-oriented role. You’ll work directly with construction, infrastructure, solar, civil, surveying, and geospatial customers to understand their workflows, demonstrate the value of Civ Robotics, and help ensure a successful experience before and after the sale. This role requires a strong technical curiosity and comfort working with hardware/software products in real-world field environments, as well as understanding technical workflows, running practical demos, troubleshooting basic issues, and acting as a trusted advisor to customers on-site.
You’ll partner closely with Civ Robotics’ global Sales, Customer Success, Operations, and Engineering teams while serving as the local face of Civ Robotics in the AUS/NZ market.
This role is based in Australia and will require regular travel across Australia and New Zealand.
