• You ensure optimal coordination and cooperation between various parties involved (design, order planning, suppliers, sales engineers) so that the production of the designs is ensured efficiently and on time.
• Continuously polish your technical knowledge & keep your product knowledge up-to-date.

Who are you?

• Being able to work in a team is a must. You easily make contacts and maintain good relationships with others.
• Be administrative, organizational, and commercially skilled.
• Have excellent networking skills.
• Good knowledge of MS Office.
• Good knowledge of English is a requirement (other languages are an advantage).

You will have the opportunity to use and increase your knowledge and expertise. This is how we invest in your growth. Learning and continuing to learn, that's what we believe in!
