Service Sales Specialist

Turn Valve Expertise into Customer Success as our new Service Sales Specialist!

Are you a solutions-oriented technical expert who can translate customer needs into winning solutions and proposals? Do you enjoy being equally at home closing a deal and solving a valve problem on-site? We're looking for a versatile professional who combines genuine hands-on valve expertise with a commercial drive.

As a Service Sales Specialist, you will grow Valmet's business in Romania by selling valves, spare parts, upgrades, and service solutions to end customers - while also executing and supervising the valve services that make you a trusted, credible partner at the customer's site. You are the single point of contact who understands both the technical reality in the field and the commercial opportunity behind it.

Valmet | Location: Bucharest or Ploiești, Romania | Field-based with travel across Eastern Europe.

What will you do?

Sales & business development:

• Identify, develop, and close sales opportunities for Valmet valves, actuators, smart valve products, spare parts, upgrades, and service agreements.

• Translate customer needs into technical-commercial proposals and quotations and follow through to order.

• Turn every service observation and maintenance recommendation into a concrete sales opportunity - proposing overhauls, upgrades, and digitalized/predictive maintenance concepts that address current and future needs.

• Build and manage long-term customer partnerships and service agreements that drive recurring business growth.

• Grow Valmet's installed base and service position through regular customer visits, account development, and continuous follow-up.

Service execution & technical expertise:

• Inspect, test, maintain, overhaul, and upgrade Valmet valves, actuators, smart valve products and accessories to the highest quality and safety standards, in line with Valmet's procedures.

• Advise on the required scope of services and the spare parts needed for repairs or replacements, ensuring genuine Valmet parts and correct procedures - including when supervising external service providers.

• Manage visit reports and contribute technical solutions that anticipate future customer needs.

What you need to succeed:

• Technical education, preferably with a mechanical or measurement/instrumentation specialization.

• Experience in valve/rotating-equipment service and/or technical sales of industrial flow control products.

• A genuine commercial mindset - confident identifying needs, presenting solutions, negotiating, and closing.

• Solid understanding of complex valve repair and maintenance procedures, obstacles, and safety hazards.

• Ability to work independently, with a structured, systematic approach and the resilience to deliver under pressure.

• Ability to lead and guide others with reliable, trusted service and technical guidance.

• Category B driving license and willingness to travel.

• Romanian fluency expected and English language skills. Additional regional languages a plus.

We are looking for a team player with a positive, can-do attitude. You understand the bigger picture while being equally comfortable with detailed technical work. You are well-organized, capable of planning and prioritizing your work independently, and able to deliver results in a dynamic international environment with challenging schedules.
