We're hiring: Technical Pre-Sales Engineer – Construction (Asta) 🏗️
Are you a technically curious SaaS professional who loves getting under the skin of a customer's challenges and showing them exactly how technology can solve them?
Eleco is looking for a Technical Pre-Sales Engineer to join our Construction team, based in Haddenham. You'll be the technical expert within the sales process for Asta, our construction planning and project management platform, helping prospects and customers see its full value. From first discovery conversation through to a signed deal. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role combining SaaS pre-sales experience, construction and planning understanding, and genuine technical curiosity.
Reporting to the Head of Sales – Construction
You'll work hand-in-hand with Sales, Product Management, Professional Services, Support and Development to build customer confidence, progress opportunities and solve real-world challenges in construction.
What you'll be doing:
Customer engagement & sales support
- Partnering with Sales throughout the opportunity lifecycle, providing technical expertise from discovery through to solution validation and close
- Leading customer discovery to understand planning processes, challenges, technical requirements and the wider technology environment
- Designing and delivering tailored, engaging demonstrations that show how Asta can address real customer challenges and create business value
- Translating customer requirements into the right Asta solution, and providing technical input into RFIs, tenders, proposals and integration discussions

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
