ABB is a global market leader in automation and low‑voltage drives. To strengthen our team, we are looking for a Sales Specialist who is energized by technology, commercial work and customer interaction — and who wants to further grow the presence of our Drives & PLC solutions in the market.

This role offers a high level of freedom, variety and responsibility within a professional, experienced and close‑knit team.

About the role

As an Account Manager Drives Products, you are responsible for selling low‑voltage drives (LV Drives) and PLCs to system integrators and OEM customers across various industrial sectors. You build strong relationships, identify market opportunities and translate technical challenges into concrete solutions.

What you will do

• Manage and develop your own customer portfolio within Industry and OEM.
• Sell ABB drives and PLC solutions that support customers in automation, optimization and sustainability.
• Follow up on leads, build long‑term relationships and drive revenue growth.

• Translate technical applications into commercial opportunities.
• Identify market trends and discuss these with your team to grow together.
• Come to the office regularly for meetings, knowledge sharing and team sessions.

Why this role is exciting

• You work with high‑quality and unique electrical engineering products — not a standard portfolio.
• Your customers are diverse: from machine builders to major industrial companies.
• You have a lot of freedom to run your region and customer base in your own way.
• You join an experienced team of six colleagues with an open and friendly culture.
• Your manager provides direction when needed but gives plenty of room for autonomy.
• You grow both commercially and technically within a global technology brand.

Your profile

You will be successful in this role if you:

• Have a bachelor‑level working/thinking background; electrical engineering is a strong plus.
• Bring at least 3 years of sales experience in the electrical engineering sector.
• Have electrical engineering knowledge (required).
• Have knowledge of drives or PLCs, or are eager to learn quickly.
• Understand how technical applications operate in industrial environments.
• Work independently but enjoy collaborating with colleagues.
• Are decisive, communicate honestly and get energy from customer contact.
• Communicate well in Dutch and English.

What we offer

• A role at a market leader in industrial automation and drive technology.
• An excellent salary (Metalektro CLA), depending on your experience.
• Company car, laptop, phone and all tools you need to perform your job well.
• Hybrid working: from home, with customers and regularly at the office.
• 27 vacation days + 13 ADV days.
• Bonus scheme and 13th month.
• Training and development through ABB University (technical and commercial).
