Sales Manager

__

Ready to start a brilliant national and international career? Then we are looking for you!

ABB is one of the world’s largest technology companies — active in over 100 countries, with 150,000 colleagues working every day on a smarter, safer, and more sustainable world. And you can be part of it. Not as a number, but as a true game changer.

The Role: Two Worlds, One Job

This is not a standard sales role, and it’s not a typical project role either. It’s a unique combination where you operate as both a Channel Specialist and a Project Account Manager within the commercial buildings sector.

You will work on some of the most exciting buildings in the Netherlands: hospitals, data centers, hotels, distribution centers, and offices. Your mission: make these buildings smart, safe, and sustainable.

What will you do as a Channel Specialist?

• Build and strengthen relationships with panel builders in the commercial building sector
• Inspire customers with the latest ABB technologies
• Win deals through cross-selling: power distribution, building automation, EV charging solutions
• Engage ABB specialists early in customer projects to maximize impact
• Build a strong network across all levels within customer organizations

What will you do as a Project Account Manager?

• Manage complex projects end-to-end: from quotation to delivery
• Stay in control of budget, planning, and risks — you are the captain
• Act as a trusted advisor and sparring partner for customers
• Bring together internal teams: sales, engineering, product management, and external partners
• Translate technological innovations into practical project solutions

Who are you?

You are ambitious, energetic, and think beyond the task at hand. You combine technical insight with commercial drive and know how to influence people — from customers at the table to engineers behind the drawings. You take ownership, show initiative, and spot opportunities others might miss.

You recognize yourself in this:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s level thinking (preferably technical) — you think big
• 3–5 years of experience in a commercial project environment (commercial buildings, installation technology, or electrical engineering)
• Fluent in Dutch and English — communication is your strength
• Commercially sharp and results-driven — you close deals
• Proactive, independent, and strong in stakeholder management
• Driver’s license (B) — flexible and always on the move
• Eager to learn, ambitious, and ready for the next step in your career

Why ABB? This is where your future begins.

🌍 National and international growth opportunities

ABB operates in over 100 countries. You start in the Netherlands, but your career can take you far beyond. Think international roles, global projects, and leadership positions worldwide. The world is your playing field.

🌱 Work with purpose

We create real solutions for real challenges: the energy transition, smart buildings, and sustainable infrastructure. Your work has impact — on buildings, people, and the planet.

🚀 Freedom and ownership

🤝 A culture that fits you

ABB believes in diversity, inclusion, and true collaboration. Everyone is welcome, everyone matters. We learn from each other, build together, and celebrate success as a team.

What do we offer you?

• Competitive salary (Metal & Engineering CLA) + attractive bonus scheme

• Company car — always on the move in style
• 27 vacation days + 13 ADV days — plenty of time to recharge
