Identify opportunities early and position Liebherr effectively in customer fleet planning, replacement and project development discussions.

Prepare and lead quotations, tenders, commercial proposals and contract reviews negotiating opportunities through to successful award.

Maintain strong market intelligence across customers, projects, competitors and future equipment requirements to support forecasting and business planning.

Work closely with Customer Support, Operations and other internal stakeholders to resolve customer issues and deliver strong outcomes across the life of the equipment.
