Jr. Sales Engineer

Do you want to become an expert in delivering tailored industrial solutions that truly make a difference?

As an IVS (Industrial Vacuum Solutions) Sales Engineer at Nilfisk, you’ll be at the forefront of bridging technical innovation with customer challenges. Based in anywhere in Hungary, you’ll drive long-cycle, consultative sales and help customers across a range of industries implement cutting-edge vacuum and filtration solutions. You’ll travel will be an essential component of this role, including regular visits to our IVS Competence Center in Zocca, Italy.

At Nilfisk, we believe in developing talent for the long term. If you're selected, you'll embark on a continuous learning journey designed to make you a subject matter expert in industrial vacuum solutions.

Do you not know how to take "no" for an answer? Does "maybe" just sound like "not yet" to you?

If cold outreach gives you an adrenaline rush, if you can turn someone's "I'm busy" into a 3-minute pitch on why they shouldn't be, and if every "no" you hear just sounds like "you haven't convinced me yet"... we're looking for you.

 

Who You Are

• Someone who speaks in numbers and runs on targets
• A technical mind who can translate complexity into sales language — a true "interpreter"
• Someone who sees every rejection as a signpost pointing to the next opportunity
• A believer in the art of turning a cold call into a warm conversation
• Someone for whom market share isn't just a slide — it's territory to conquer

What You'll Do

• Hunt for new business and uncover opportunities others miss
• Translate technical horsepower into "here's exactly how this solves your problem"
• Light up the room in demos and handle technical questions on the fly
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the sales team, blending engineering instinct with sales hustle
• Set a new hunting target every month — and beat it

What We Offer

• A steep learning curve (but a fun climb)
• Mentorship from an experienced sales and engineering team
• A culture that rewards results the moment you deliver them
• Not your average desk job — this is a real battlefield (but don't worry, there's still coffee breaks)

This Role Isn't for You If:

• You think "I'll call them later" counts as a strategy
• You're afraid of rejection (you'll get some every day here — you'll get used to it)
• You avoid technical details instead of leaning into them

Your New Team

You’ll join a dynamic Specialty Business team focused on the IVS segment. The team includes technical consultants, business developers, and product experts based across Europe, with Zocca as our core knowledge hub. We collaborate across borders to create meaningful value for our customers.

“Here, no day is the same—and the trust you’re given lets you shape projects from day one,” shares a colleague from the IVS team in Italy.

Why Join Us

At Nilfisk, we know that amazing people make amazing companies. You will join a company culture with a lot of freedom and trust, and where we have a growth mindset. At Nilfisk, it’s OK to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them. Further, we want you to question ideas and speak your mind, so we can, together, find the best solutions. If you are ready for this, we would be keen to hear from you.
