Technical Sales Engineer Role

We are looking for a structured Technical Sales Engineer, with an innovative technical mindset and strong interpersonal skills. You will develop technical deliverables for the commercial department, as well as analyse operational and commercial risks at tender phase, making recommendations and judgments on bid strategy. The position reports to the Head of Sales, taking instruction from and working under the day-to- day supervision of the Technical Sales Manager.

The main day-to- day duties will include:

• Keep updated with market developments and technical advances within the offshore wind sector to inform potential optimization of SBO’s jack-up vessels.

In due course, the role will also involve a client-facing component such as attending technical client clarification meetings, negotiations and industry conferences. The position will also involve assisting business development efforts, understanding customer service demand, and contribute to the development of SBO’s strategy in the offshore wind installation, O&M and decommissioning sectors.
