Job description

Your next step into technical sales

Do you enjoy understanding how technology works and explaining why it is the right solution for a customer? This is an opportunity to combine your engineering knowledge with commercial thinking, contributing to projects that strengthen and modernize the electricity grid.

Joining an international grid technology team, you will develop technical and commercial proposals for high-voltage products and services. You will work closely with sales colleagues, project managers and factories to turn customer requirements into clear, competitive offers.

Your technical foundation matters more than previous sales experience. If you are an engineer or electrical/mechanical professional, ready to move into a more customer focused, commercial role, this could be your next step.

What you will do

Build compelling proposals: Translate customer requirements into accurate offers that address both technical specifications and commercial needs.
Shape the bid strategy: Bring together input from Sales, Project Management, factories and technical specialists to develop a strong customer solution.
Find opportunities to add value: Ask the right questions, explore alternatives and take a proactive approach to customer requests.
Develop your expertise: Build your knowledge of high-voltage products, services and emerging grid technologies.
Grow your project exposure: Start with smaller projects and develop towards larger, more complex opportunities as your confidence and expertise grow.

What you bring

A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline, ideally HBO/HTS is preferred.
At least 2-3 years of relevant technical experience; experience in electricity transmission, distribution or high-voltage technology is an advantage.
Strong spoken and written Dutch and English fluency.
The ability to understand technical information and explain it clearly and persuasively.
A proactive mindset, commercial curiosity and an accurate approach to your work.
A collaborative working style and the confidence to coordinate with different stakeholders.
The motivation to keep learning and build a career in technical sales or project management.

Candidates with substantial hands-on technical experience and strong communication skills may also be considered without the preferred degree.

Why join?

Work on technology the energy transition depends on. You will join a business focused on reliable, sustainable and digital electricity grids, with a wider portfolio spanning high-voltage equipment, transformers, grid connections, stabilization, storage and digital technologies.

You will collaborate with colleagues across the world, learn from experienced specialists and gain exposure to projects serving utilities, industry and the growing demand for electricity infrastructure.

With structured learning and room to take on greater responsibility, this role offers a clear opportunity to grow from technical expertise into commercial impact.
