Business Line Service & Installation is one of the identified growth areas for NKT in the coming years. We see a strong potential and interest, offshore as well as onshore, in cable services and we are now looking for a Sales & Bid Manager to strengthen our Swedish sales team.

You'll work closely with experienced colleagues who will provide internal support and guidance.

We provide a wide range of services for all types of cables, spanning both onshore and offshore projects.

To fit this role we believe you have a strong drive and commercial mindset to generate business and satisfy customers. Your social skills will come well to hand when working closely with your coworkers making sure we win as a team and maximize the business for NKT.

This position offers an international context and some travelling must be expected. Proficiency in Swedish and English is required, as are strong written and spoken communication skills.

We expect you to have a postgraduate degree, technical, commercial or other relevant field.
