Field technical advisor

About Metaaltechniek Handelsonderneming B.V.:

For over 55 years, Metaaltechniek B.V. has been all about craftsmanship, a down-to-earth approach, and taking pride in what we do. We are a true family business—with short lines of communication, plenty of freedom, responsibility, and a team where people have enjoyed working for years. Why? Because we help each other grow and because we take pride in what we deliver: expertise, top brands, fast service, and smart solutions for everything related to milling, sanding, grinding, and polishing.

With a team of 30 colleagues, we work every day to fulfill our mission: to be the best technical wholesaler in the Netherlands. It may sound ambitious, but that’s exactly what we love. And we’re looking for people who love that too!

What will you be doing as a Sales Engineer with us?  

You’ll be joining a field service team of seven friendly colleagues who work together seamlessly. You’ll visit clients in the region, build relationships, and help them succeed by providing practical, honest, and technical advice. No empty promises—just knowing what you’re talking about and working alongside the people on the front lines.

You’ll showcase new products and give demonstrations to customers as well as in our own testing and demonstration area. You’ll test innovations, attend training sessions, and get to know our product range inside and out. This will enable you to help our customers work smarter, safer, and more efficiently.

In between, you and your team will handle quotes, sample deliveries, demos, and orders. And when you’re ready, you’ll also get involved with METAC—our in-house training center.

In short: a role that combines technical expertise, business acumen, autonomy, and customer interaction.
