Technical Sales Engineer (m/w/d)

We bring renewable energy to some of the remotest corners of our planet and work on our vision of a sustainable future in which we are all supplied with 100% renewable energy and energy poverty is no longer an issue every day. Off-Grid Europe is an internationally oriented company in the field of renewable energies and intelligent technologies with a focus on Africa.

In order to shape the future of Off-Grid, we are now looking for a person who will be our first leading Technical Sales Engineer to support our business development team and be the technical interface for our customers.

You can tear project proposals apart when they make no sense, weed out the pointless opportunities, stop sales from pursuing opportunities which are a waste of time, convince customers to move in a more logical direction and speak your mind with passion and eloquence. You must be scientifically driven, with a passion for excellence and have a strong intuition for what is right and wrong. You must understand finance and not be driving from the point of profit, but rather the point of excellent delivery of products and services. Long term this is our legacy and you're a key pillar in our constant pursuit to do the right thing.
