• Collaborating with internal stakeholders to ensure excellent customer experience and successful project execution.
• Monitoring market trends, customer requirements, and competitor activities to support business growth.
• Contributing to sales planning, forecasting, and achievement of business targets.

 

Your background

• Experience in sales, customer-facing roles, project business, or technical support.
• A genuine interest in customer interaction and building long-term relationships.
• Ability and willingness to learn and understand technical solutions related to power systems, transformers, high-voltage equipment, substations, and related services.
• Self-driven way of working and ability to manage multiple sales opportunities simultaneously.
