We support sales teams with solution design and proposal development, respond rapidly to troubleshooting and workshop needs, and deliver high‑value retrofits, upgrades, and installation support. Our deep technical expertise and product knowledge enable customers to achieve better performance and reliability – driving more aftermarket pull‑through and long‑term engagement. You will join a highly skilled team with global responsibility for mechanical parts of grinding equipment, including Vertical Mills, Ball Mills, Crushers, and similar heavy machinery.

• Clear, confident communicator who works well across global, cross-functional teams.
• Familiarity with relevant industry regulations and standards.
