Are you asking how to change the visa profession or iqama profession. For visa only the sponsor can change this by requesting MOL and as for iqama, you would need an attested educational certificate matching the type / profession in visa. If engineer you will need to register with SCE .

Not at all, I would advice you not to take up this offer since this is not enough for a family of 4, what will you be able to save with this pay and why are you here ? get your priorities sorted out and make a decision.

System administrators get paid more than 5 k. If your education is electronic engineer degree and the company is giving you sales man / technician this will turn out to be an issue later since you will have to get your educational certificates attested from saudi embassy and then apply for SCE and then pay fees to change the profession from sales man / technician.
Sales man may be able to bring family - needs reconfirmation with new guidelines. Technician is not allowed family any more.

Maybe they already have visa right now for salesman and u can come first , then change to what u like
Cuz if they want to ask for new visa maybe they can't for many reason :
- the takes all the limit for visa in that company.
- maybe the don't want spend time to ask for new visa and pay again .
So just come , everything will be fine .

Forget the job...8 Years experience, 5k job forget it...That too IT admin...It might end up being technical support also...
The salary is too less...And accommodation may not be for family...

It's till less for your experience. Also you will have to take into account the upcoming new fees for dependents and also the iqama renewal.
Wife and 2 kids is 3600 per year this year, next it'll be 7200 and the year after 10,800 per year.
Atleast you need to get upwards of 8k minimum.
