Vacancy
As a Sales Manager at Tillen, you are responsible for the strategic management of the entire commercial process, both nationally and, in the future, internationally, within the offshore and maritime sector. With your sales experience, you approach new leads through various channels and maintain long-term customer relationships. You ensure that existing customers remain satisfied with the services provided and continuously discuss new opportunities and upcoming projects.
You look beyond the initial customer inquiry and strategically respond to the specific needs of the customer. Thanks to your market knowledge and insight into the latest developments, you effectively translate these into commercial opportunities, directly contributing to Tillen's growth and international expansion.
You work closely with a Sales Engineer and a Sales Support Employee within the Sales team. You play an active role in drafting quotes, requests, and other strategic documents, and together with your colleagues, you ensure that commercial objectives are achieved efficiently and successfully. Your extensive experience enables you to lead the team and achieve Tillen's ambitious goals together.
If you are interested in acquiring new accounts and can manage a variety of tasks and deadlines, this is the job for you.
Growth
No rigid format is followed for your career path. Depending on your ambitions, experience, and needs within the company, you can develop in various directions. TILLEN is experiencing significant growth, and we aim for our colleagues to benefit and grow with us. To support this, we provide budget and time so that everyone can flourish in a challenging environment where they can excel.
Working at TILLEN
Our vacancies are exclusively aimed at candidates who wish to join us directly without involvement from staffing agencies and recruiters. We do not engage with freelancers either; acquisition based on these advertisements is not appreciated.
TILLEN was founded in 2007 by three enthusiastic engineers with a passion for heavy constructions and lifting equipment. The company designs and delivers customized solutions for the safe and efficient handling of heavy constructions, such as those for wind farms, contributing to the energy transition. The team comprises experts in mechanical engineering and structural engineering. By pooling these skills, tailored solutions are created, manufactured, and implemented for handling heavy and unwieldy loads. The expertise extends beyond heavy lifting, serving various markets. Designs range from specialized equipment to supporting structures and other handling devices with diverse applications. In addition to engineering, an increasing part of our activities involves manufacturing our designs, ultimately delivering complete solutions to customers. This process includes visiting the manufacturing workshop, devising and conducting tests, and participating in the final acceptance by the customer.
In addition to vacancies for Sales Engineers, Project Managers, and Structural Engineers, we are always looking for CAD Engineers, Design Engineers, and Project Managers. Please send your application to Jeroen.van.hees@tillen.com
