Senior Business Development Executive – Operational Technology Solutions

Sulphur Experts is a process engineering company of parent company SGS that are focused on providing leading-edge evaluation services for sulphur recovery, amine treating and dehydration processes. What sets Sulphur Experts apart from the competition is their size and technical strength. We have the ability to field up to ten test crews simultaneously with all the equipment and engineering support required to meet the specialized on-site testing and evaluation needs of our clients. With offices in Canada, the Netherlands, the United States, LATAM and the Middle East we can mobilize efficiently to meet the most demanding situations and schedules in a timely manner.

We're seeking a Senior Business Development Executive who understands that selling operational technology isn't about pushing products—it's about becoming a trusted advisor in our clients' digital transformation journeys. This role requires deep technical credibility in SCADA, industrial automation, and OT/IT convergence, combined with the patience and expertise to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles that can span 6-18 months.

You'll be selling transformation, not transactions. Our clients are making mission-critical decisions about infrastructure that runs 24/7 operations generating millions in daily revenue. They need a partner who speaks their language, understands their operational challenges, and can articulate how modern OT architectures solve real business problems.
