Sales Engineer / Technical Inside Sales

Sales Engineer / Technical Inside Sales

Technology, commerce & international customer projects

Are you technically strong and commercially minded enough to guide customers towards the right solution?

For a growing, internationally active company, we are looking for a Sales Engineer / Technical Inside Sales who enjoys customer interaction, technical challenges, and developing tailored solutions.

This is not a pure sales role — it’s a position where technical expertise and commercial insight truly go hand in hand.

About the company

You will join a company active in electrical applications, connector solutions, and power supplies, supporting industries such as industrial automation and future-oriented mobility.

They operate as a specialized knowledge and distribution partner within a technical niche market. From early design phases to final delivery, they work closely with customers to develop the right solution — ranging from individual components to fully customized systems, including supporting services.

The organization combines the reach of an international player with the feel of a close-knit, entrepreneurial team. Expect short communication lines, autonomy, and real ownership in your role.

Your role

Depending on your experience, you will either start in a more inside sales-focused position, or take on broader responsibilities as a Sales Engineer managing your own clients and projects.

Your responsibilities include:

• Acting as the first point of contact for customers (phone & email)

• Following up leads and turning opportunities into concrete projects

• Understanding the customer’s technical needs and translating them into feasible solutions

• Preparing and following up on quotations and pricing

• Coordinating with suppliers and internal teams to define the right technical setup

• Building long-term relationships with existing customers

• Identifying and developing new business opportunities

• Managing projects from A to Z, with attention to quality, timing, and commercial success

What you can expect

You will join an environment where you can grow both technically and commercially.

What’s in it for you:

• A varied and content-rich role

• Exposure to international customer projects

• A pragmatic, no-nonsense team with short communication lines

• Room for initiative, growth, and specialization

• An attractive salary package with extra-legal benefits

• Possibility to work from home

• A company culture built on autonomy, involvement, and collaboration

Why this opportunity stands out

This role is ideal for someone who does not want to be a pure hunter, but still wants to make a real commercial impact.

You are not selling standard products — you are thinking along with the customer and building solutions. That makes the role particularly interesting for someone who enjoys working on a more in-depth, consultative level and contributing to long-term partnerships.
