Your job in a nutshell

As a Design Manager, you are the link between sales and engineering. As a technical specialist, you know how to translate complex customer requirements into smart, feasible solutions. You coordinate technical proposals through our network of innovative partners, prepare quotations and tenders, and ensure that every detail is accurate and complete.

You provide customers and account managers with technical support and lead the sales process from a technical perspective. Together with the account manager, you determine the next steps in the process to support the customer in the best possible way. Together, you ensure that customer needs are translated into practical and successful projects.

Thanks to your expertise, commercial opportunities are transformed into technically sound solutions that form the foundation of successful and innovative greenhouse horticulture projects.

What are you going to work on?

You dive into complex customer requirements and, together with internal and external specialists, translate them into smart technical designs for greenhouse projects within the agreed timeline.
