Within our Building Security Solutions (BSS) division, we specialise in electronic security, including video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection and integrated security management systems.

As a Technical Sales Specialist, you will act as the link between customers, sales and engineering.

You will be involved throughout the pre-sales process, from the initial enquiry to the handover to project delivery.

Your responsibilities include:

Developing technically and commercially sound security solutions.

Analysing customer requirements, technical specifications and tender documentation.

Preparing and supporting tenders and procurement procedures.

Reading and interpreting technical drawings, diagrams and floor plans.

Preparing quotations, cost estimates and technical documentation.

Selecting suitable security systems, products and components.

Advising customers on security solutions that meet their long‑term requirements.

Collaborating with colleagues in sales, engineering, project management and operations.

Contributing to the ongoing development of our security solutions.

We offer:

• An attractive salary in accordance with the Dutch collective labour agreement for the technical installation industry.
• Comprehensive secondary employment benefits, including a year‑end bonus.
• A pension scheme through Pensioenfonds Metaal & Techniek.
• 25 days of annual leave and 13 additional working‑time reduction days (ADV), based on full‑time employment.
• A company car, also available for private use.
• A sickness absence bonus and a bicycle leasing scheme.
• Extensive training and professional development opportunities.

A professional, informal working environment where teamwork and technical expertise are valued.

Your team

You will join our Building Security Solutions (BSS) division, where specialists design, implement and maintain advanced electronic security solutions.

You will work closely with colleagues in sales, engineering, project management and service to translate customer requirements into technically feasible and reliable security solutions.

Our working environment is professional and informal. Colleagues share knowledge, support one another and work together on technically challenging projects.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a technically skilled professional with commercial awareness and the ability to translate customer requirements into practical, well‑founded security solutions.

You should have:

MBO+ or HBO level of education or equivalent professional experience, preferably in a technical or ICT‑related field.

Experience in a comparable technical sales or pre‑sales role.

Knowledge of electronic security systems and ICT infrastructure.

Experience with Security Management Systems or integrated security platforms.

Strong technical and analytical skills.

Experience preparing quotations, cost estimates, tenders and/or procurement submissions.

Good communication skills and a customer‑focused approach.

An independent, proactive and solution‑oriented working style.

Do you have relevant experience in the security industry, installation engineering, ICT or technical services, but a different educational background?

We encourage you to apply. Your practical experience and expertise are more important to us than your specific field of study.
