Do you want to manage global upgrade projects for spray drying plants - and see your solutions boost efficiency for customers in dairy, food, pharma and chemical industries? Join GEA and be part of a team developing tomorrow's service solutions. Here, you will influence how industries adopt sustainable technologies, while managing both long-term upgrade projects and quick-turn service tasks.

Some days, you handle urgent support requests through our global CRM system; other days, you are deep into planning and driving long-term upgrades that stretch over several months. Your role is both technical and commercial, and you work closely with local GEA offices, vendors and customers to make sure every project creates real value.

• provide technical support to colleagues worldwide.

Your profile and qualifications

On a personal level, you are structured and detail-oriented, while still keeping the bigger picture in mind.

With a proactive mindset, you take ownership of projects and find motivation in delivering value to both colleagues and customers.

Finally, we imagine that you:

• bring project management skills combined with a technical background
• speak and write English fluently (Danish is an advantage)
• have experience working with service and support, ideally in an international setting
• are flexible to travel globally up to 30-60 days per year
• want to contribute actively to improving and developing the service business.
