Your contributions

As a Sales (& Project) Engineer, you’ll act as the link between the technical side of the business and the customer. You’ll build long-term customer relationships, contribute ideas on technical solutions and ensure that projects run smoothly from enquiry to contract. No two days are the same, and you’ll be given plenty of scope to put your technical and commercial skills to good use. 
You will be working in a team comprising two in-house sales staff and one direct colleague in the same role as yourself. Together, you make a great team. You will liaise frequently with the Work Planning department, whilst the Production, Logistics and R&D departments are also part of this SME manufacturing company. 

Your duties will include:

• Visiting existing and potential customers and maintaining long-term relationships;
• Advising customers on technical solutions and potential applications;
• Identifying commercial opportunities and turning them into concrete contracts;
• Preparing and following up on quotations;
• Managing projects from application to implementation;
• Working closely with colleagues from, amongst others, the internal sales team and work planning;
• Monitoring agreements made and ensuring they are properly followed up;
• Contributing ideas for bespoke solutions that meet the customer’s requirements.

Your profile

You combine technical knowledge with a commercial mindset and are able to advise customers in a friendly manner. You are solution-oriented, honour your commitments and also recognise yourself in the following:

• MBO+/HBO level, preferably in a technical field;
• 3 to 7 years’ work experience in a technical or commercial-technical role (or convincing evidence that you can pick this up quickly);
• An interest in ventilation engineering or a related field (the construction and ventilation engineering sector, or sustainability);
• Good communication skills and a customer-focused approach;
• Independent, proactive and responsible;
• Willing to visit customers throughout the Netherlands and to travel to Ittervoort on a regular basis. Where you live is not important to us; we would prefer you to be ‘somewhere in the middle’ of the catchment area. 

Your workplace

Our client is a leading supplier in the technical sector. The organisation supplies high-quality technical products and expert advice to professional clients, combining practical experience with product development and innovation. You will be working for a company that is constantly evolving and changing; you mustn’t mind not being handed everything on a plate straight away. 

Are you ready for a role that combines technology, customer contact and business? If so, we’d love to get in touch with you to discuss the possibilities!
