Technical Sales Representative at Swedfarm in Linghem

AB Effektiv Väst · Full-time

Skaraborgsvägen 1a, Borås, Sweden

Do you want to combine technology, sales, and long-term customer relationships in an industry that is vital to Swedish food production? As a Technical Sales Representative at Swedfarm, you will drive business from needs assessment to completed solution and create real value for customers. Your future employer Swedfarm has a long history dating back to the 1940s. The company has evolved over the years and is now a market leader. We sell chickens and pullets to Sweden's egg production industry and equipment as well as complete systems for poultry and meat bird production to customers throughout the poultry industry. We collaborate with leading suppliers and provide professional consulting to customers in the industry. Operations are located just outside Herrljunga where we have our own breeding and rearing facilities, a modern hatchery, and our logistics unit. In Linghem, we have our headquarters with storage, sales, and support functions. For many years, Swedfarm was a family-owned company, but is now owned by the MRefine Group together with our CEO Mikael Mörk. What does the role offer? As a Technical Sales Representative at Swedfarm, you will have an independent and varied role where you combine technology, sales, and project work with long-term customer relationships. You will work with the sale of interior systems and technical solutions for chicken facilities and help customers create modern, efficient, and well-functioning installations for Swedish egg and poultry production. You are responsible for the entire transaction – from the first customer contact and needs analysis to quotation, design, installation, and completed facility. The role involves close collaboration with customers, suppliers, installers, and colleagues within Swedfarm. Your main responsibilities are to: · Develop and visit both existing and potential customers. · Prepare technical solution proposals, calculations, and quotations based on customer needs. · Plan and design installations of interior systems and technical equipment together with the customer. · Follow up projects and transactions from inquiry to delivery and completed facility. · Collaborate with suppliers, installers, service technicians, and other partners. · Build and develop long-term customer relationships and follow up on completed transactions. · Work structurally with visit planning, quotations, and follow-up. The work involves travel and customer visits throughout Sweden, with many customers in Västergötland, Östergötland, Halland, and Skåne. You will also participate in industry events and Swedfarm's own customer activities. You will primarily work from Swedfarm's office in Linghem and largely plan your own days and customer visits. For a more senior person, there is flexibility regarding place of residence. You will be part of the technology team and work closely with sales, project, service, and other parts of the organization. Who are you? We are looking for someone with sales experience and a clear technical interest and understanding. If you have worked with technical sales, that is a major advantage, but sales experience combined with the right technical understanding can be equally relevant. Education in areas such as technology, electrical engineering, or building technology, as well as experience from agriculture, poultry production, or stable construction, is a merit. As a person, you are business-minded, results-oriented, and service-focused with strong self-drive. You are structured and thorough, enjoy problem-solving, and have an ease for building trust and long-term customer relationships. At the same time, you are unpretentious and enjoy collaborating – at Swedfarm, it is the team that creates results together. You have excellent command of Swedish and English in speech and writing, good computer skills, and a valid driver's license (Class B). Is this your perfect match? Swedfarm is a leading supplier of complete solutions and equipment for rearing laying hens and meat birds as well as for egg production. Here you will work in an exciting industry where technology, animal welfare, and Swedish food production meet. You will have a free and varied job with great personal responsibility, while being part of a tight and unpretentious team with great atmosphere. Swedfarm is growing and developing, and here we value innovation, ideas, and the desire to find new solutions for customers. It's not about hard-selling – it's about understanding the customer's operations and selling results. Warmly welcome with your application Does the position sound interesting?
