About the Business Development department

The Business Development department is accountable for overall sales efforts and achievements worldwide and leads business development and client relationship management. You will work together with different international teams towards regional targets that contribute to Ampelmann’s global revenue and profit plans.

Jr. Business Development Manager

In this role, you will discuss new ways of creating business impact for key players in the offshore industry. You will identify and address client needs and make sure they are met by offering the services Ampelmann is known for. You’ll start by taking responsibility for different markets around the world together with a mentor, and once you’ve built global know-how and a true business mindset, you’ll step into a market of your own. You will work closely with stakeholders across marketing, operations, legal, finance, and innovations.

Your first two years

After settling in at the head office in Delft, you’ll spend a few months at one of our international offices in Rio de Janeiro, Houston, Providence, Singapore, Doha, Kuala Belait, Aberdeen, or Hamburg, meeting customers face-to-face and being mentored by some of our most experienced colleagues. It’s a steep learning curve, but that’s exactly what makes it exciting. You’ll return to Delft to build on everything you’ve learned before taking on a new assignment. This is where your career truly takes off: with real experiences, a global network, and mentors who’ll help you grow from day one.
