Sales Manager Inspection Services Africa 

Ready to take over a trusted client portfolio and shape Intero's growth across Europe and beyond? 

Location: Tricht, the Netherlands. Full-time, with occasional international travel.

About Intero

Intero keeps pipelines and industrial installations safe around the world. With high-tech inspection technology and data analysis, we reveal what is happening below the surface, so clients in oil, gas and energy can prevent problems before they become incidents. Learn more about our Inspection service line in this video: Intero - The Power of Integrity.

The role

As Area Sales Manager Inspection Services, you are the primary commercial and technical contact for your clients. This is a succession role: you take over an existing customer portfolio, as our current Sales Manager retires at the end of 2027. You build on those relationships and open up new opportunities in existing and adjacent markets. The handover is carefully planned and tailored to your knowledge and experience.

What you will do

• Build and strengthen long-term relationships with existing and new customers in your region, and be their go-to person for commercial and technical questions.

• Identify, qualify and develop new business opportunities, and execute your area sales strategy in line with our growth and profitability goals.

• Work with Operations, Project Management and Data Analysis to turn customer needs into clear service proposals that show Intero's added value.

• Hand over won projects accurately to Project Management, so scope, timelines and deliverables match what the customer expects.

• Follow market trends and competitor activity and represent Intero at trade fairs and networking events.

• Work towards targets for turnover, growth and customer satisfaction.
  
  

Your impact

You are the link between what clients need and what Intero delivers. By translating customer needs into technically feasible and commercially strong proposals, and by bringing customer and market feedback back to our teams, you help us professionalise and improve our service delivery.

Team and atmosphere

You join an international sales team of 10 colleagues within a commercial organisation with more than 20 nationalities. You report to the regional Manager Sales and work closely with Operations, Project Management, Data Analysis, Legal and Finance.

The atmosphere is informal and entrepreneurial: short lines of communication, plenty of personal responsibility and no micromanagement. You manage your own customer portfolio and negotiations, with the support of colleagues across disciplines. This role has no direct reports.

What we are looking for

Must-haves

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Business or a related field

• At least 5 years of experience in a technical-commercial role in the energy or oil and gas industry

• Proven ability to build and maintain relationships with customers at multiple levels

• Strong technical understanding of inspection technologies or related services

• Excellent command of English and Dutch

• Willingness to travel nationally and occasionally internationally
  
  

Nice-to-haves

• Experience in the inspection or pipeline integrity industry 

You are entrepreneurial, resilient and result-driven, and you can explain complex technology in terms of customer value.

What we offer

• A salary of EUR 6,283 to EUR 8,082 gross per month for a full-time position, depending on your knowledge and experience. 

• A performance-based bonus

• A lease car or mobility scheme, if applicable 

• A pension scheme, holiday days and holiday allowance 

• Hybrid working, alternating between the office, home and client visits

• Visits to trade fairs and networking events

• Room to grow towards Senior Sales Manager or regional sales leadership
