The role

North-East Netherlands | Houten & client locations

Do you want to combine your technical knowledge with client contact and commercial responsibility? And do you get energy from a broad role in which you are involved in the entire process, from an initial technical question to a suitable solution and quotation?

As a Technical Sales Engineer at Fortes Energy Systems, you are the technical interlocutor for clients and partners in North-East Netherlands. You analyze projects and installations, advise on suitable solutions, and guide inquiries further towards concrete projects. In doing so, you form the link between technology, the client, and commerce.

What you'll do

This is what you will do

At Fortes, sales begins with technology. In this role, you will therefore receive plenty of space to think along substantively with clients. You do not work for one specific client segment, but advise various parties within the construction sector, including clients, consultancy firms, contractors, installation companies, municipalities, and heat companies.

You are involved in a large part of the commercial process. Specifically, this means you:

Follow up on leads and project inquiries technically and commercially;
Analyze project locations, installations, and client inquiries and translate them into suitable technical advice;
Advise clients and partners on delivery sets, delivery stations, and other solutions within the Fortes product portfolio;
Make appointments independently and visit clients and project locations;
Select technical solutions and prepare quotations based on them;
Follow up on technical advice and support in securing and coordinating assignments;
Build sustainable relationships with clients, partners, and professional organizations;
Follow market developments, including developments within the energy transition, and identify opportunities for new solutions;
Actively share your market and project knowledge with colleagues.

How you'll work

Your focus is on North-East Netherlands. The position combines working from the Fortes location in Houten with visits to clients and projects in your region. This makes it a true field service role in which you work from Houten about half of your time and are close to clients and projects the other half.

Experience as a Site Reliability Engineer or in a similar role.

This is you

Technology is the basis of this position. As far as we are concerned, you do not have to be someone who primarily comes from a traditional sales background. We are specifically looking for someone who understands technical issues, enjoys diving into them, and can translate that knowledge to clients in a clear and convincing manner.

HBO (Higher Professional Education) working and thinking level in a technical direction;
Relevant work experience in a technical environment;
Experience in guiding or coordinating technical projects;
Technical and analytical ability combined with commercial insight;
An independent and proactive way of working;
Strong communication skills and the ability to work with various clients and stakeholders;
Good command of the Dutch language. English is a plus.
Interest in and current knowledge of developments within the energy transition.
