Visiting food producers that use Marel equipment, you convince them to use our services, process knowledge and parts, improving the performance and reliability of their processes and systems.

You spot opportunities, propose solutions that add value to the customer, and close the deal. With your commercial sense, you enjoy to sell value (e.g. Total Cost of Ownership, improved machine performance, higher throughput, and quality) in a competitive market.

Since this is a commercial role, we measure your performance by the amount of visits you do, volume of created opportunities, and your hit rate.
