Your Tasks & Responsibilities

• Understand customers & develop solutions
  • Analyse business models, load profiles, site and grid connection conditions, and investment criteria

  • Own opportunities from qualification through proposal and negotiation to contract closure
  • Drive customer relationship in all forms (workshops, project opportunities, tenders, …)
  • Build business cases (TCO, payback, ROI) and optimise configuration, scope and pricing; apply disciplined bid/no-bid decisions
• Feasibility & handover
  • Validate delivery feasibility with Engineering, Operations, Service
  • Hand over complete specifications, exclusions, risks and acceptance criteria to the delivery team
• Voice of the customer & sales discipline
  • Feed structured customer, competitor and win/loss insights into Product Management and Engineering; support new product introductions
  • Keep CRM and rolling forecast accurate; protect margin through scope control and sound payment milestones

Must-haves

• Degree in electrical, energy or industrial engineering or a comparable field – equivalent practical experience is equally relevant
• Proven experience in technical sales, sales engineering, application engineering or solution sales for BESS, renewables, power electronics or industrial energy solutions
• Sound understanding of BESS (batteries, inverters, system integration, controls, EMS) and applications such as peak shaving, self-consumption, renewable integration, backup power and market participation
• Experience building customer business cases and communicating the financial value of technical solutions
• Experience with tenders, technical specifications, proposals and negotiations
• Ability to manage several opportunities and customer projects in parallel
• Fluent German and English
• Willingness to travel internationally
