About SGS
SGS sellers price testing, inspection, audit and certification work, and each business line hunts its own buyers: softlines, retail and electrical product testing for brands and retailers, certificates of conformity for North American exporters shipping to the 13 African and Middle Eastern countries that demand them, environmental lab analysis for clients dealing with contaminated sites and water quality, food and nutrition testing, industrial inspection, and ISO, medical device and cybersecurity certification. Of the 268 openings filed under sales, about 140 are selling seats: business development managers and executives, global and technical key account managers who sit with one large retailer or brand, technical sales executives and ingenieros comerciales, account executives (ejecutivos de cuenta in Colombia), and a few BDRs and SDRs. About 55 more are customer service, sales assistant and order desk jobs, and roughly 70 are technicians, electricians, safety staff and 11 French vehicle inspectors that local units list under sales and customer support, so the raw count overstates the selling. About 30 openings are in the US and lean to large-account work: global key account managers for textiles and retail in Los Angeles, Fairfield (New Jersey) and Bentonville, senior sales executives in Suwanee (Georgia) and Milpitas, and remote environmental account managers who must live in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire or Texas. Brazil has 44, Colombia 28, France and Poland 18 each (13 of the Polish posts are food development managers in as many cities), Vietnam 17, Malaysia 13, and Germany and the Philippines 12 each.
