Job Overview: A recognised leading provider of specialist services in gravity and magnetic geophysics to oil exploration companies, mining groups and government organizations worldwide seeks a Sales Geophysicist.

The company offers a full range of services surrounding potential field geophysics to exploration companies. These services and products range from data acquisition, processing, and integrated interpretation projects, including providing integrated interpretation software. The company also manages the proprietary gravity and magnetic data holdings for several oil exploration companies and also brokers non-exclusive potential field data for a number of blue chip companies.

The analysis of gravity and magnetic data in combination with seismic data provides a more complete exploration strategy as interpretational uncertainties are reduced through the analysis of additional rock properties. The company has been able to demonstrate that significant geological information can be gleaned from gravity and magnetic data in both frontier and mature exploration areas. As such, the requirement for their services continues to grow.

In this role, your primary responsibility will be to represent the Company in the industry by selling and promoting their integrated interpretation software, gravity and magnetic data, and their acquisition and processing consulting services.

As such, this role is ideal for someone with a geophysical background and experience in marketing or selling technical solutions or data. Alternatively, it would suit someone with the right technical background and a desire to move into sales. The Company realise that you may not have all the technical skills required and are committed to providing full training of all their solutions. Also, you will work along side senior sales personnel and will be supported and guided in your role.

Working alongside an experienced sales team, the Company is committed to providing support and mentoring where needed and you will be trained in all relevant technologies, work practices and Company sales methodologies.

Responsibilities:Reporting to the Vice President Exploration Services, your key tasks and responsibilities will include:

• To seek out and cultivate potential customers for the company's products and services.
• Develop sales leads and opportunities for the company's integrated interpretation software, gravity and magnetic data, and their acquisition and processing consulting services.
• Develop, negotiate and close sales opportunities and contracts.
• Develop good working relationships with assigned clients and contractors and participate in developing client specific sales plans.
• Develop, maintain, and extend client relationships.
• Collect, prioritise data/product/service requirements and communicate them effectively within the Company, ensuring that your client views and perceptions are represented.
• Ensure that a high level of customer satisfaction is maintained throughout the service delivery
• Liaise with clients and/or contractors throughout duration of projects
• Assist the marketing group to devise effective marketing strategies - i.e. providing geophysical and geological technical support where needed, creating panels and displays for Trade shows and other marketing presentations, etc.

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic geoscientist with a sharp commercial acumen who wishes to work with the world's only independent service company specializing in both Gravity Gradient Imaging and conventional gravity and magnetics.

Preferences: The successful candidate will have:

• A degree in Geophysics, Geology or Geoscience is essential.
• Strong geophysical and/or geological knowledge/understanding essential.
• Previous sales or marketing experience highly advantageous but must have the desire to succeed in sales.
• Good technical and commercial skills - with the ability to articulate the technical value of solutions to E&P companies essential.
• Ability to learn and sell geophysical solutions to potential and existing clients essential.
• Knowledge of the application of potential field geophysics to exploration highly desirable
• Technical background of gravity and magnetic data, products and/or services highly desirable
• Understanding of the link between geological and geophysical interpretation, highly advantageous.
• Team player - proven ability to work with all levels to accomplish goals.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills - must be able to relate to team members and communicate confidently with clients
