Vacancy
Acquisition based on this advertisement is not appreciated. We usually fill the vacancies ourselves and in exceptional cases we work with preferred suppliers.
As a Proposal Engineer at EuroSort, you are responsible for converting the customer's request into a layout of the total system in AutoCAD 2D and/or Inventor. You use input from the Sales Representative, who uses the created layout as a basis for the quote to the end customer. You also use the layout to create project calculations. After making the basic design, you remain involved, implement revisions, and increase the level of detail of the layout as the sales process approaches the final phase.
You work on multiple projects simultaneously and support the Sales Representatives in the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. If necessary, you request modules from external suppliers - with the help of the Procurement department - such as compressors, box sealers, strappers, and conveyors. You also support the Sales Representatives and the Marketing department in creating sales support materials, such as brochures and materials for trade shows. Since the role and selling of sorting systems are internationally European oriented, visiting customers together with the Sales Representatives is certainly a possibility.
You are part of the Sales Support team in the Marketing and Sales department. In addition to you, this team includes another Proposal Engineer and Sales Representatives in the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. The team is led by the Head of Sales, who is also your supervisor. You also work with colleagues from the Procurement department to request project modules from external suppliers based on the right specs.
If you enjoy working on varied projects and liaising with different parties to do this and find it challenging that all processes within the organisation are not yet optimally structured, then this is a job for you.
Working week
On an enjoyable work day, you work on varied issues for a layout and discuss an interesting new project with the Sales Representative.
On a less enjoyable work day you have to deal with a lot of upcoming deadlines and unexpected work. It is important to prioritise your work well on days like this.
