The Pre-sales Engineer or Applications Engineer is a key position in the company. You’ll be one of the first contacts with the customer, playing a crucial role in bridging the gap between customer needs and the company's capabilities. This role involves transforming customer requests into tangible project deliverables, including design of layout, price calculations, and comprehensive quotations. The Applications Engineer ensures that all technical and commercial aspects are meticulously addressed to facilitate successful project execution. Also, you’ll take part in the negotiation of the project, the kickoff to the technical office and the follow-up of the project.
Your work is largely project-based pre‑sales / application engineering:
You’ll work closely with sales, engineering and procurement to give the customer optimal service and support. Your scope is everything before the sale: from first concept to final quotation.
You are energized by working in a broad engineering scope, a kid of technical jack-of-all-trades who understands mechanical principles, machinery and has basic knowledge of automation and electrical concepts. Experience with layout thinking and process flow is highly recommended
We encourage each of our 12,000+ employees to bring their unique self to work and aim to make everyone feel recognized, valued and free to explore their potential. We’re committed to creating an inclusive culture and welcome new colleagues from all walks of life. You will recognize in yourself that you:

Experience with project engineering or project design
Food processing / food machinery
Additional languages like French and/or Italian are especially valuable (many customers in those countries, sometimes with limited English).
Experience or courses in data analytics / reporting tools like Power BI or advanced Excel.
Willingness to travel occasionally.
