Your Mission

TDS is a geoscience and environmental consultancy working across water, environment, mining and green energy, with branches across Saudi Arabia and internationally. Our geophysics team runs electrical, electromagnetic (including drone-borne EM), seismic and potential-field surveys for groundwater, minerals, and geotechnical and energy-transition projects. We are looking for a technically grounded professional to be the first point of contact with our clients and to open new opportunities for the department.

Your Impact

  • Identify and qualify opportunities with mining companies, water utilities, government agencies, engineering contractors and energy developers.
  • Understand each client’s problem and, with our geophysicists, recommend the right method and survey design.
  • Prepare proposals, capability statements and tender responses; coordinate technical and cost inputs.
  • Present TDS solutions in meetings, conferences and site visits; follow up to close.
  • Maintain the opportunity pipeline in our CRM and report monthly on activity and results.
  • Contribute to agreed annual targets for qualified pipeline and revenue.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in geophysics, geological engineering, geology or a related geoscience.
  • Working knowledge of at least two geophysical methods (e.g., resistivity/IP, TEM/EM, seismic, gravity, magnetics) and the problems each solves.
  • 3–5 years of experience in client-facing, technical-sales, business-development or geophysical project roles.
  • Clear written and spoken English and confidence presenting to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Willingness to travel regionally.

Nice to Have

  • Master’s degree in geoscience or mineral-resources field.
  • Experience with GIS or geological-modelling software (e.g., QGIS, Leapfrog, Oasis Montaj).
  • Exposure to tenders or public-sector procurement.

Why TDS

Competitive salary plus performance-based incentive, mentoring by senior geophysicists, exposure to international projects and new EM technologies, and a clear growth path to Business Development Manager.
