Vacancy
Our job vacancies are exclusively aimed at candidates who wish to join us directly, without involvement from staffing agencies or recruiters. We do not consider freelancers; acquisition based on these advertisements is not appreciated.
As a Sales Engineer at TILLEN, you will be responsible for managing customer inquiries and converting them into commercial proposals for customized solutions. You will receive customer requests, carefully evaluate them, and gather necessary information to outline the quotation process. Working independently and in collaboration with Engineers, you will formulate technical solutions that meet customer needs. When necessary, you will provide detailed preliminary designs that outline manufacturing costs and convincingly present operational principles.
Additionally, you will oversee the entire quotation process from request to contract negotiations. This includes receiving requests, preparing them, obtaining quotations from relevant parties, and explaining these quotations to the customer. You will also engage actively in customer visits and maintaining relationships to build sustainable bonds with clients.
You will become a part of the Sales team, collaborating directly with the CEO, Project Managers, and Team Leaders from various disciplines.
If you enjoy using your creativity and technical insight and find effective communication challenging, then this is the job for you.
Working week
On a good workday, you receive a non-specific request from a client that you transform into a surprising solution exceeding everyone's expectations. This not only brings personal satisfaction but also energizes the team.
On a less enjoyable workday, you face limited freedom from your client, focusing solely on price and delivery time. Keeping the team motivated becomes a challenge.
