OEM Relationship Management: Experienced in communicating with international manufacturers and negotiating distributor/reseller pricing. Technical Literacy: Ability to read plant P&IDs, equipment specs, and mechanical/electrical drawings for valves, pumps, rotating equipment, instrumentation, or specialty chemicals. Language & Systems: Professional fluency in English and Arabic (written and spoken). Hands-on experience with client bidding portals (Etimad, ERP systems, and CRM software). Location: Must be based in Dammam
