• Assistance in negotiating terms, delivery conditions, and delivery dates.
• Contract review with creation of order-relevant data for the order processing interface
• Evaluate post-project cost analyses and take action
• Ensuring that orders are approved, documented, and that complaints are handled on time, both internally and externally
• Maintenance of sample and bill-of-materials lists, unit cost calculations, and production and approval processes.

What you bring with you:

• Completed technical or business vocational training (technician / degree in engineering) or a comparable qualification, and ideally professional experience in mechanical engineering.
• Initial professional experience in technical inside sales, ideally in contract manufacturing or production.
• In-depth knowledge of preparing quotes, cost estimation, and creating bills of materials and order entries.

• An analytical, structured approach to work, with attention to detail and a focus on service.
• Strong communication skills, the ability to work well with others, and a customer-focused mindset.

• Willingness to collaborate closely with Production, Purchasing, and Sales.
• In addition, you have strong organizational skills and a proactive, independent, team-oriented, and reliable work style.
• You have experience and knowledge in sales, and you can identify opportunities and the factors that influence decision-making
