Job Description
Are you an analytical problem-solver with a few years of experience, ready to take your career to the next level?
As a System Consultant, you will be at the heart of designing and shaping baggage handling systems during the early stages of major projects, playing a direct role in winning contracts. In this role, you will collaborate with specialists like Layout, Simulation, and Process Engineers, as well as work closely with our commercial team. Together, you will dive deep into the customer’s needs, analyzing their challenges, and transforming these into a well-thought-out sales concept. Your sharp analytical skills will be key—you will need to think on the spot, contribute insights in real-time, and confidently participate in high-level conversations with both customers and internal teams.
What sets this role apart is the level of strategic thinking involved. You will not only analyze data and technical details but also understand the bigger picture, helping to craft solutions that solve complex problems while delivering real business value. You will present your solutions to both the customer and our management team, convincing them with a well-reasoned, competitive proposal.
If you enjoy solving complex challenges, thinking fast during discussions, and working on high-stakes projects, this is the opportunity for you!
