Sales Engineer Greenhouses

Location: Poeldijk

Whether you’re calculating a project for a greenhouse in the Westland or creating the technical sketch for a project in Poland, you translate a customer’s request into a concrete project.

What You’ll Be Doing
As a Sales Engineer Greenhouses, you are the key link between sales and engineering. You translate complex, construction‑related customer requests into a tailored technical design and calculate the project costs. With your knowledge of structural engineering, you will develop the optimal solution.

Your Responsibilities Include

Creating layout drawings in AutoCAD;

Performing structural calculations in Casta;

Calculating project costs, including labor, in our ERP system;

Consulting with suppliers;

Preparing the quotation and reviewing it with the sales team. Our sales representatives will present your proposal to the customer;

Project sold? Then you hand over your design and all project information to the project engineers, who will further develop the project in full detail.

As a Sales Engineer Greenhouses, you work closely within project teams alongside specialists in electrical engineering, water technology, and climate technology. The best part of your work? Every project is unique: always tailored to the client’s needs, suitable for different crops, and built to withstand various weather conditions. This keeps you technically challenged. You will also work on multiple projects at the same time and occasionally join customer meetings to advise them from your area of expertise.

Our greenhouse construction estimating team consists of a close‑knit group of professionals, each with their own experience and expertise. Together with the team lead, four colleagues form a compact team in which we support each other whenever needed. No complicated structures, just short lines of communication and quick decision‑making. We look out for one another and make room for humor whenever possible.

A well‑timed joke is part of who we are and contributes to a relaxed, pleasant working atmosphere.
