Service Sales Specialist
Description
Turn Valve Expertise into Customer Success as our new Service Sales Specialist!
Are you a solutions-oriented technical expert who can translate customer needs into winning solutions and proposals? Do you enjoy being equally at home closing a deal and solving a valve problem on-site? We're looking for a versatile professional who combines genuine hands-on valve expertise with a commercial drive.
As a Service Sales Specialist, you will grow Valmet's business in Romania by selling valves, spare parts, upgrades, and service solutions to end customers — while also executing and supervising the valve services that make you a trusted, credible partner at the customer's site. You are the single point of contact who understands both the technical reality in the field and the commercial opportunity behind it.
