Sales in the construction industry: special requirements and challenges
The construction supply industry is the foundation of our developed environment. But the market is changing radically. In the field of wastewater, pumps and fittings, a trend towards digitalisation is recognisable. For sales experts, this means that they have to understand the mechanical hardware, but at the same time they also have to understand software interfaces. They have to be familiar with “smart water” and intelligent control systems and be well-versed in regulations such as the Drinking Water Ordinance or municipal wastewater guidelines to be able to communicate with planners at a professional level.
It is not only the water industry that is affected by the change: other sub-sectors of the construction supply industry are transforming too, be it building services, digital construction (BIM), building automation (smart home, KNX) or security technology. Sales are increasingly taking place at the desk of planners, architects or in the central purchasing department of large construction companies. As a sales specialist, you are no longer winning over just the developer, but also the upstream decision-makers. On top of this, there are complex tendering procedures that require a deep understanding of the subject matter and the infrastructure.
Michael Lainer, specialised headhunter for the construction industry
“These days, anyone who sells piping systems to infrastructure projects or supplies municipal utilities with pumps and fittings operates in a highly regulated, technically complex environment with long decision-making cycles. And then there is a completely different side of the market: sales concerning Building Information Modelling, where the sales process itself becomes digital and candidates are who can talk data with planners and architects on an equal footing are very much in demand.
This spectrum - from civil engineering to networked planning - is what makes recruitment in this industry so complex and where we as premium headhunters make the difference.”
