Sales Trainee / Junior Sales

We offer

  • Room to grow: if you show us what you can do, we will give you the opportunity to develop yourself
  • A pleasant working environment where people work hard, but there is also room for fun
  • Working with colleagues who want to move forward, keep improving, and grow with us

Your Skills

  • Curious and eager to learn – you want to understand how things work, including the technical side
  • You have drive and ambition – there are plenty of opportunities to advance your career
  • You enjoy diving into the details of our innovative energy solutions and quickly build strong product knowledge

Why DENS

  • We are not a standard technical company. We are innovative, ambitious, and always on the move
  • We look at what each person needs and respond accordingly: no standard approach, but tailor-made solutions
  • Because we all work on the same site, the lines of communication are short and decisions are made quickly; that is our strength

No Sales Experience? Perfect.

We’re looking for people with drive, curiosity, and ambition, not a résumé filled with years of sales experience. At DENS, you’ll learn the profession from the ground up, together with other junior colleagues and under the guidance of an experienced mentor.

Making mistakes is part of learning. Not trying is not.

What Will You Do?

  • Support sales colleagues with prospecting, quotations, and customer follow-up
  • Independently establish first contact with new prospects via phone, LinkedIn, and events
  • Accompany colleagues on customer visits and gradually conduct meetings independently
  • Maintain the CRM system and manage the sales pipeline
  • Monitor market developments and identify new business opportunities
  • Represent DENS at trade fairs and networking events

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s level working and thinking ability; your attitude matters more than your field of study
  • Curious and eager to learn, including understanding technical concepts
  • Strong communication skills and not afraid to pick up the phone or ask questions
  • Naturally enthusiastic, energetic, and results-driven
  • Affinity with sustainability and technology is a strong advantage
  • Valid driver’s license (Category B) and willingness to travel regularly for customer visits

Career Opportunities

At DENS, you won’t move forward slowly on autopilot. You’ll grow as fast as you’re able. We are a rapidly scaling company and intentionally create opportunities for people who want more responsibility. You mostly set your own pace.

  • Sales Engineer: Manage your own accounts, targets, and full deal responsibility
  • Account Manager: Manage and grow a portfolio of customers in strategic sectors
  • Business Developer: Develop new markets and strategic partnerships for DENS

Your Growth Path

  • Year 1 — Learn the profession, shadow experienced colleagues, build your first customer relationships, develop your sales pipeline
  • Year 2 — Manage your own accounts, independently prepare and present quotations
  • Year 3+ — Progress into a Sales Engineer, Account Manager, or Business Developer role
  • Training & Development — Dedicated budget for sales training and relevant professional courses

What We Offer

  • Competitive entry-level salary with clear growth prospects
  • Your first own customer accounts within the first year
  • Technology you’ll be proud to talk about: clean energy solutions
  • Travel allowance, with the prospect of a company car
  • A dedicated buddy from the sales team
  • A close-knit team with short communication lines and quick decision-making
