Solution Engineer

Function

Are you a technical expert with at least 10 years’ relevant experience in logistics or logistics automation? As an experienced Solution Engineer, you will play a crucial role in designing innovative, bespoke solutions. This role focuses primarily on the technical aspects and on supporting colleagues, utilising your in-depth knowledge and expertise behind the scenes. Your responsibilities include:

• Analyse customer data and select the most appropriate solutions, e.g. based on supplied RFQs.
• Designing technically strong concepts in 2D and 3D using tools such as Inventor, AutoCAD and Navisworks.
• Working closely with suppliers and customers to develop sustainable solutions.
• Preparation of detailed cost estimates and technical budgets.
• Working out and checking detailed quotations with an eye for quality and price.
• Adjunct and mentor less experienced colleagues by guiding and supporting them in developing solutions.
• Provide support in project realisation and implementation, together with project engineers during transition phases.

In this position, the emphasis is on coming up with and developing solutions, without having to constantly visit customers. If you are interested in doing so, you can, of course. Most importantly, you get energy from working out technical solutions and take on a coaching role within the team given your experience within logistics and/or logistics automation.

• Ideally a bachelor's or master's degree in a technical field, preferably electromechanics or equivalent, combined with at least 10 years of relevant work experience in the sector. Knowledge of logistics or logistics automation is a strong plus.
• Proficiency in MS Office tools such as Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
• Experience with Autocad, Inventor and Navisworks for 2D and 3D designs is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills in Dutch and English, with French being an added advantage.
• A creative ability and strong problem-solving skills.
• The talent to analyse complex technical challenges and support multidisciplinary teams.
• A strong technical focus combined with drive and stress resistance, where results and deadlines are key.
• Experience of, or an interest in, mentoring or coaching less experienced colleagues and supporting other solution engineers.
