Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers, and society. Together, we’re pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water, and shipping.

As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too.

As Global Sales Developer – Mining, you will work closely with customers, sales companies and colleagues across the global organization to identify where we can grow and how we can win. You will contribute your market insights and ideas to the sales strategy, develop opportunities together with the team, and help turn agreed priorities into commercial results.

Who are you

You are a commercially driven and proactive person who enjoys being close to the market, building relationships and turning ideas into contracts. You are curious and open to learning, while confident enough to challenge ideas, share your perspective and stand behind your recommendations.
