Position overview
Freelance Sales Engineer / Representative — UAE
SAS Middle East FZC is expanding its market reach and seeks a motivated freelance sales professional to represent our engineering portfolio. This is a part-time, commission-based engagement — not a full-time employed position. You work independently, on your own schedule, with direct support from our technical and project teams when opportunities move to quotation or delivery.
Key responsibilities
- Project acquisition — identify and pursue new business across manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities, food processing and OEM sectors.
- Lead generation — build and maintain a qualified pipeline of prospects aligned with SAS products and services.
- Client representation — present SAS professionally in meetings, site visits and industry events across the UAE.
- Opportunity qualification — understand customer requirements and brief our engineers on viable projects.
- Daily reporting — provide concise end-of-day updates on client activity, meetings, leads and sales progress.
- Proposal support — coordinate inputs for quotations and follow up until close or handover to delivery.
Locations
Operation in all UAE
We hire across the UAE and operate in every emirate. You will represent SAS in the field, coordinate with our engineering team at Sharjah HQ, and build relationships with clients nationwide.
UAE-wide — operations across all seven emirates:
- Abu Dhabi
- Dubai
- Sharjah
- Ajman
- Umm Al Quwain
- Ras Al Khaimah
- Fujairah
SAS Middle East FZC is headquartered in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah. We welcome candidates from any emirate and hire across the UAE — where you live is not the deciding factor. This is a field role, however: you must be willing and able to travel regularly for client meetings, site surveys and industry events throughout the country.
What we do
You should understand — and be able to explain — what SAS delivers.
SAS is not a generic trading company. We design and build IntelliLink® connectivity products (encoder bridges and hubs, dual-CAN gateways, panel climate systems) and deliver full engineering services: PLC/SCADA integration, robotics, OPC UA / MQTT, predictive maintenance, AI process optimisation, EOAT design, reverse engineering and OEM co-development.
Successful candidates can hold a credible technical conversation, recognise where our products fit, and know when to bring in our application engineers.
- IntelliLink encoder, gateway and ClimaLink product lines
- Industrial automation, robotics and IoT integration
- AI solutions for process, food and kitchen operations
- Custom hardware, protocols and OEM partnerships

- Earnings: Commission on closed business; structure and tiers agreed before start.
- 90-day review: Commission model and KPIs formally confirmed at the three-month mark.
