Vacant job

SMS group Nordic is a German global group known for future-oriented technology and services in plant construction and mechanical engineering. Our goal is to contribute to a carbon-neutral and sustainable steel and metal industry.

We are now taking the next step in our Swedish organization and are looking for a motivated and driven sales professional who is passionate about creating business by building strong customer relationships. Together, we are developing a strong team and offering significant opportunities for development and career growth for those with ambition and drive.

About the Role

As a Technical Sales Specialist, you are responsible for selling SMS group's products and services to customers within the steel and metal industry in the Nordic region. You work proactively to develop and deepen business with existing customers while identifying and creating new business opportunities.

By understanding and anticipating customers' technical and commercial needs, you match these with SMS group's solutions to deliver the best customer value, profitability, and long-term relationships. You work in a consultative manner, acting as a trusted advisor throughout the entire business process – from needs analysis and quotation to contract and follow-up.

In close collaboration with colleagues in sales and engineering, you gather, share, and utilize relevant business and market information. You are responsible for your own customer and budget area, planning, prioritizing, and following up on your activities through structured sales plans.

Location and Flexibility

The position is based in Stockholm or Boden. The role involves business travel, primarily within the Nordic region, with occasional international travel. You have significant freedom to plan your own work and customer visits.

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who combines technical competence with a strong business focus and a genuine interest in customer relationships.

We believe you have an engineering degree from a university or college, or equivalent work experience and previous experience in technical sales, preferably within the steel or metal industry. The role requires excellent proficiency in Swedish and English, both spoken and written. German and Finnish are considered advantageous. You should have good computer and system skills and the ability to work systematically with sales processes and customer information. A valid driver's license (Category B) is required.

As a person, you are curious, solution-oriented, and skilled at building trust by combining your technical understanding with sensitivity to customer needs. You thrive working independently with a high degree of responsibility, while collaboration is a natural part of your daily routine. With a strong customer focus and a desire to develop, you contribute to the success of both our customers and our team.
