Requirements

What we're looking for

To fit ideally into the team, we will value you bringing:

  • Technical background: Engineering or related fields. An engineering background or previous experience in operations and machinery handling will help you speak the same language as the client and understand their application needs.
  • Experience in the sector: A minimum of 5 years of experience, ideally in commercial or technical positions within the metalworking or industrial consumables industry.
  • Relational and cultural skills: Orientation toward small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and family businesses. We are looking for someone with tact, listening skills, and empathy, who perfectly understands the culture and customs of the business fabric in Catalonia.
  • Languages: Proficiency in Catalan (a great plus for connecting with local clients) and an adequate level of English to successfully follow the company's international training and communications.
  • Digital skills: Proficiency in management tools such as CRM and automated dashboards to organize your activity.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • Attractive salary package: Guaranteed fixed salary based on merit.
  • Motivating monthly variable: System based on billing and KPIs paid monthly. If you meet your targets, you will add an average of 10,000 to 15,000 euros per year; if you exceed 115%, the variable doubles!
  • You will have a company car, fuel expenses covered, and per diems for your day-to-day work in the field.
  • Real autonomy and flexibility: 100% remote work position to organize your route. You will have 1 or 2 days from home to plan, report, and manage your CRM, and the rest of the time you will be on the ground visiting clients (an average of 3 visits per day without overnight stays).
  • Continuous international training: Annual development plan that starts with initial training directly in Germany to thoroughly learn the product's cutting-edge technology.
  • Wellness and protection: Access to life insurance (for those over 40) and preferential rates for private health insurance.

The role

Can you imagine advising the most cutting-edge industries in the market using top-tier German technology while boosting your most strategic and negotiation-oriented profile?

If you have experience handling machinery in industrial environments or a solid technical background and you are looking for a stable project, with autonomy and where your results are rewarded month after month, this challenge will interest you.

What you'll do

What will your day-to-day look like?

We know that changing projects or making the leap into the commercial field raises questions. Here is how we support you from the very beginning:

  • Will I have to start from scratch? No. You will receive an active portfolio of between 20 and 25 highly diverse clients within the automotive, aerospace, mold, or medical sectors. This portfolio already represents 50% of the target billing volume. Your challenge will be to retain them and act as a true detector of new business opportunities.
  • Will I spend my days preparing quotes and doing paperwork? Not at all. We have a Back Office department and a local engineering team with support from application engineers. Your mission is to capture the opportunity on the ground and enter it into the CRM. The specialized technical team will handle preparing the quote for you. 70% of our catalog is standard material with set prices, which greatly simplifies the sales process.
  • Are immediate results expected? We know that the industrial sector takes time. We expect full performance and great results to come after the first or second year, although we will look for your impact and proactivity in the area to be noticed right away.

As a Field Sales Engineer, your main purpose will be to consolidate the company's presence in the Catalan territory and act as a strategic partner for your clients, helping them improve their processes with cutting-edge technology.

In your day-to-day

  • You will manage and build loyalty within the assigned client portfolio in the Barcelona area and surroundings, traveling within a radius of 150 to 200 km.
  • You will identify needs and provide technical advice on the application of consumables for clients' machines.
  • You will identify and open new commercial accounts, applying your business development skills to grow the area.
  • You will enter the data and opportunities detected into the CRM so that the local engineering team can prepare the final technical proposals.
  • You will plan your weekly visit routes and track your commercial KPIs with full autonomy.
