Business Developer

As a Business Developer, you'll take ownership of developing new commercial opportunities and growing customer relationships.

• Identify and approach potential customers in our target industries.
• Develop new business opportunities for engineering, commissioning, automation and technical project services.
• Build relationships with technical decision-makers, project managers, procurement teams and senior stakeholders.
• Understand customer challenges and translate them into relevant engineering solutions.
• Manage the commercial process from initial contact through proposal, negotiation and agreement.
• Develop and maintain a healthy, qualified sales pipeline.
• Collaborate with our engineering, recruitment and management teams to assess opportunities and delivery capacity.
• Prepare commercial proposals and contribute to pricing and contract discussions.
• Maintain accurate customer information, opportunities and follow-up activities in our CRM.
• Identify market developments, strategic partnerships and opportunities for international growth.
• Strengthen existing customer relationships and identify opportunities for additional services.

You'll be measured not just by activity, but by the quality of the relationships you build and the commercial results you achieve.

We're looking for an entrepreneurial commercial professional who understands how to sell technical expertise and build sustainable business relationships.

• Approximately 5 or more years of relevant experience in business development, technical sales or account management.
• Experience in engineering services, industrial technology, technical staffing or a comparable B2B environment.
• Demonstrable ability to generate new business and develop long-term customer relationships.
• Understanding of technical project environments and the commercial needs of industrial customers.
• Strong communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to identify opportunities, qualify leads and manage complex sales processes.
• Commercial awareness, ownership and a structured approach to pipeline management.
• Confidence in communicating with engineers, procurement teams and senior decision-makers.
• Professional English communication skills. Dutch is strongly preferred.
• Willingness to visit customers and travel internationally when opportunities require it.
• A valid category B driving licence.

You don't need to be an engineer. You do need to understand our technical world well enough to ask the right questions and represent our expertise credibly.

Gross monthly salary: €4,000–€5,500, based on a 40-hour working week, excluding holiday allowance and applicable additional compensation.

• Permanent employment.
• 25 vacation days per year.
• €25 monthly sports budget.
• A commercially influential role within an ambitious engineering company.
• Freedom to develop new markets, customers and partnerships.
• Direct collaboration with company leadership and technical specialists.
• Opportunities to contribute to international growth.
• Professional development and relevant commercial training.
• Mobility arrangements appropriate to the role, subject to company policy.
• A team that values initiative, accountability and meaningful results.

Growth starts with people who see possibilities.

At Tribe Engineering, we're building a company that combines technical excellence with an entrepreneurial mindset.

We value commercial professionals who take ownership, build trust and understand that a strong customer relationship is worth more than a quick transaction.

You'll have the opportunity to influence how we grow, which markets we develop and how we build long-term partnerships.

We believe in clear communication, practical decisions and giving capable people the room to make a difference.

Inspired by the fear of being average.
