Facade Specialist

Company Description

TYK Glass is one of Thailand's leading glass processors for architectural projects. For more than two decades we have manufactured insulated, laminated, tempered and heat-strengthened glass for buildings across Southeast Asia and for export to Japan. We are now commissioning a new factory dedicated to high-performance glass for building facades — and with it, a new team built specifically to win and serve premium facade projects.

This is that team. And this is the role at the centre of it.

The Opportunity

We are establishing a dedicated Facade Sales unit to serve large-scale curtain wall and facade projects, with a particular focus on aluminum facade installers and on the international consultant econsystem.

The team works hand-in-hand with our Business Development Division, which opens the doors. Once a customer is engaged, the Facade Sales Specialist owns the technical sale: specifications, glass performance, quotations, project follow-through and the long-term relationship.

You will not be one of many. You will be one of the founding members of a small, deliberately senior team that is expected to set the bar — both internally and in the market.

Role Description

This is a full-time hybrid role located two minutes to Central Westgate with flexibility to work from home on occasion. You will be the technical and commercial face of TYK Glass to a defined portfolio of facade clients and consultants. In a typical month you will:

• Translate architectural intent and consultant specifications into the right glass make-up — selecting coatings, interlayers, and build-ups that meet thermal, acoustic, structural and aesthetic targets.

• Run glass performance calculations (U-value, SHGC, VLT, acoustic Rw, structural thickness) and recommend solutions backed by data.

• Produce detailed, accurate quotations within a 24-hour service standard for premium clients — and defend them in technical clarification meetings.

• Manage the full client journey from RFQ to delivery: coordinating with our factory planning, QC, logistics and after-sales teams to make sure the project lands as promised.

• Build trusted, long-term relationships with facade consultants, installers and principal contractors — the people who decide which glass goes on which building.

• Represent TYK Glass at industry events, project meetings and client visits in Thailand, Japan and the region.

Qualifications

We are not looking for a generalist. We are looking for someone who is genuinely interested in the technical side of glass and equally comfortable in front of a senior client.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering, Architecture, Building Science, Materials, or a related technical field.

• 4+ years of experience in technical sales, facade engineering, glass / aluminium systems, building envelope, or a closely related industry. Candidates from facade consultancies or installer companies are strongly encouraged to apply.

• Strong working knowledge of architectural glass and IGU systems — coatings, laminates, structural sealants, edge stability, performance calculation.

• Professional fluency in English, both written and spoken. You must be comfortable presenting to and negotiating with international clients and consultants.

• Excellent commercial judgement and the discipline to turn around accurate, detailed quotations under tight deadlines.

• Logical, structured thinker. Comfortable with numbers, drawings, specifications and contracts.

• Thai nationality or valid Thailand work authorisation.

Strongly preferred

• Working knowledge of Japanese language (business level is ideal; conversational is a real plus). Genuine familiarity with Japanese business culture and meeting etiquette.

• Existing network within the facade ecosystem — consultants (e.g., Meinhardt, Arup, Inhabit), installers, or principal contractors.

• Experience with curtain wall systems, unitised facades, or Japanese facade standards (JIS) and codes.

• Software literacy: glass performance tools (e.g., LBNL Window, Calumen, SJ Mepla), AutoCAD review, and proficient in Google Sheets (or Excel) and presentation tools.

The human side — equally important

The best people on this team will be the ones clients want to spend time with. We value:

• Sociability and the ability to build genuine relationships — over a meeting, over dinner, and yes, over a round of golf.

• An interest in international culture, food, and the way clients prefer to do business — quietly, precisely, and with respect for the relationship over the transaction.

• Composure under pressure, and the maturity to represent TYK Glass at senior levels.

Our Core Values | SPIRIT

Every member of TYK Glass is expected to live our SPIRIT values, and we hire deliberately for them:

Service Mind · Passion for Excellence · Integrity · Responsibility · Imaginative Thinking · Teamwork

If those words describe how you already work, you will feel at home here.

What We Offer

• A founding seat on a strategically important new team, with direct visibility to senior management.

• Competitive base salary aligned with seniority, plus a project-linked performance bonus.

• Structured technical training on high-performance glass systems, including factory immersion in our state-of-the-art facility.

• Sponsored attendance at facade industry events and client visits in Japan and the region.

• A modern office in Bangkok and a culture that takes craft, professionalism and customer respect seriously.
