Job detail for Commercial Technical Inside Sales Representative

Help build our new trading team in Heerhugowaard

Do you enjoy helping customers quickly, solving technical issues, and thinking along from a commercial perspective? At Special Gas Systems (SGS) in Heerhugowaard, you will work with a specialized range of over 10,000 products and have the opportunity to help build our new trading team from the ground up.

At SGS, we supply components for gas installations to customers in various technical sectors. You can think of us as the specialized hardware store for these industries: customers come to us for fittings, tubes, valves, and pressure regulators, among other things. We are the exclusive distributor in the Benelux for the high-quality products of DK-LOK and TESCOM.

Your role

As a Commercial Technical Inside Sales Representative, you are a key point of contact for our customers. You listen to their needs, help identify the right technical solution, and ensure they receive a suitable quote quickly.

Speed is important here. Our customers often work on projects where they cannot wait two days for an answer. You maintain an overview, communicate smoothly with colleagues and suppliers, and ensure that requests are handled carefully and promptly.

Your work is varied. One moment you are advising a customer on the right fitting or dimensions, the next you are preparing a quote, checking product availability, or coordinating a delivery. You do not need to know everything about our products at the start. However, we do find it important that you are technically curious and enjoy diving into our product range.

What will you do?

• You advise customers on components and solutions for gas installations.

• You answer commercial and technical questions.

• You prepare quotes and actively follow up on them.

• You process requests and orders in SAP.

• You check prices, dimensions, availability, and delivery times.

• You maintain contact with customers, suppliers, and colleagues.

• You identify commercial opportunities and contribute ideas about our services.

• You help build and professionalize the new trading team.

• You contribute to further collaboration between the trading teams of SGS, Demaco, and OPW.

In your daily work, you will use tools such as SAP, Outlook, and SharePoint.

A new team with plenty of growth opportunities

Since 2024, SGS has been part of OPW Clean Energy Solutions. As a result, we are working more intensively with our sister companies, including Demaco in Noord-Scharwoude, just a five-minute drive from our location.

In the coming period, we want to increasingly connect knowledge, customers, products, and commercial opportunities. For you, this means that you are not just stepping into an existing commercial role. You will also have the opportunity to contribute ideas on how we can further develop our collaboration, processes, and market approach.

What do you bring?

• You have an mbo+/hbo (vocational/higher professional) level of education and thinking.

• You have commercial interest and an affinity for technology.

• Preferably experience in a commercial, technical, or customer-oriented role. (We also invite hbo graduates with technical insight and commercial interest to apply).

• You enjoy diving into an extensive and specialized product range.

• You work accurately while understanding that customers want to be helped quickly.

• You communicate easily with various customers, suppliers, and colleagues.

• You have a commercial mindset and see opportunities.

• Experience with SAP or another ERP system is a plus, but not a requirement.

Knowledge of fittings, tubes, valves, pressure regulators, or gas installations is an advantage. If you do not have that knowledge yet, but are technically curious and a fast learner, we would also love to meet you.

What do we offer you?

• A salary between € 3.400 and € 4.600 gross per month based on 40 hours, depending on your knowledge and experience.

• 8% holiday pay, pension accrual, and travel allowance.

• Flexible working hours.

• The possibility to work from home in consultation.

• A versatile full-time position where commerce, technology, and customer contact come together.

• The chance to help build a new trading team from the start.

• An extensive onboarding process in which you get to know our products, customers, and markets well.

• Opportunities to follow training at DK-LOK and TESCOM.

• Plenty of room to further develop yourself both content-wise and commercially.

• Collaboration with colleagues within SGS, Demaco, and other OPW companies.
