For Country Sales Organization in Romania, we are looking for a Specification Sales Engineer.

Travel rate is up to 50% across the country.

The role is reporting into the Country Sales Manager.

In this role you will be responsible, within the assigned region, for the efficient expansion and maintenance of the network of customers who can be considered specifying entities for projects related to commercial and institutional buildings. These entities typically include engineering offices, consultants, end-users with serialized business activity or large-scale projects, and others.

An important component of the role involves projects that include Emergency Lighting systems, ensuring the proper promotion and integration of Eaton solutions into technical specifications from the early stages of the project.
The primary objective is to ensure visibility of projects from their early phases and to be actively involved in the planning process, in order to tailor the specifications to Eaton solutions, including those for Emergency Lighting.

Other important aspects of the role include monitoring and identifying sources of projects that are not specified with Eaton. For such projects, it is essential to ensure communication and record them in Salesforce, as well as to inform interface functions - such as Project Sales Engineers, the back office, and project management - so they are aware of the project and can follow up and execute the activity.

Specification Sales Engineers are fundamentally oriented towards maximizing opportunities, both in volume and in probability of conversion. They optimally leverage internal resources to move quickly from project to project and to maximize the application of Eaton Solution Spaces, including Emergency Lighting systems, in as many projects as possible.

• Adapt confidently to changing priorities and evolving situations, maintaining efficiency and professionalism
