Job Description

About Engineered Refurbishment

Our Engineered Refurbishment (ER) team is at the forefront of protecting, strengthening, and extending the life of critical infrastructure across the UK. From bridges and tunnels to major urban developments, we deliver technically advanced, system-led solutions that create long-term value for asset owners.

You’ll be joining a high-performing, collaborative team with a strong reputation for technical excellence and early-stage project influence. We work closely across sales, technical, and vertical market teams—creating a genuinely supportive, “win together” culture where knowledge is shared and success is collective.

Purpose of the Role

This role exists to drive specification-led growth by engaging early with consultants, engineers, and asset owners across Central London. By influencing design decisions at concept stage, you will position Sika as the technical partner of choice, securing high-value, complex projects and building a sustainable pipeline aligned to our infrastructure growth strategy.

What’s In it for You?

The Opportunity:

  • Lead the development of a high-quality, specification-led pipeline, influencing projects from concept through to delivery
  • Build trusted relationships with consultants, engineers, and asset owners, positioning Sika as a long-term partner
  • Shape technically robust solutions that deliver durability, compliance, and whole-life value across major infrastructure and refurbishment schemes

This is a role where you can genuinely influence outcomes, not just react to them—working on projects that define skylines and infrastructure for decades to come.

The Rewards:

You will be rewarded with a competitive salary, and a sweep of great benefits. We pride ourselves on our total reward package:

  • EV/PHEV Company Car Fleet or Car Cash Allowance
  • Bonus Scheme
  • Holiday 25 days rising to 28 days with service, plus bank holidays
  • Hybrid Working
  • Core Hours Working
  • A company pension contribution of up to 10%
  • Private healthcare for you, with option to add family
  • Group life cover at 6x your annual salary
  • Global Income Protection (PHI)
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
  • Staff discount platform & Cycle to Work scheme
  • Dedicated Service Awards for reaching key milestones
  • Selected discounted Sika products

The Support:

You’ll be part of a close-knit, experienced team that genuinely supports each other. From technical experts to sales leaders, you’ll have access to the tools, knowledge, and mentorship needed to succeed. We foster a culture where ideas are encouraged, collaboration is expected, and success is shared—backed by strong leadership and clear strategic direction.

The Skills:

This role offers the chance to deepen both your technical expertise and commercial impact. You’ll develop advanced knowledge in concrete repair, protection, and strengthening systems, while sharpening your ability to influence complex buying centres and long-cycle opportunities.

A significant commitment to professional and personal development from day one includes comprehensive local training, product knowledge, leadership development initiatives, and access to the global Sika Business School.

Qualifications

What we need from you?

  • Experience or strong understanding of specification-led sales or technical influencing

We offer competitive salaries, aligned with local market benchmarks and the specific scope and responsibilities of each role. Compensation is determined based skills relevant to the position, education and/or training. We are committed to fair and equitable pay practices in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
