I am responsible for engineering in Geobear. That basically means that my job is to give a yes/no answer to sales on major technical challenges, and oversee the development of our technical competence. I joined Geobear 15 years ago after my corporate career in blue chip companies, thus being one of the first team members to the current team. During this tenure I have been author of a new patent family and dealt closely with intellectual property. I have been working my way from product manager position to the leadership team. It has been great to witness the growth of team from 3 people to over a 100 colleagues in numerous countries. Although work is sometimes hard and deadlines tight, I am extreme happy to be working at the forefront of changing an industry!

I have been in Geotechnical Engineering for over 35 years now. Years before I joined the company I was well aware of the solutions it provided and I always thought that there was so much more it could offer.

It is really great to see ground engineering carried out in a clean, non disruptive manner after years of mud and concrete. The value add the solutions bring to the client are the real benefit and the societal impact is something special and great to be involved with.

When I was approached by the company to join them it was a no brainer. The culture of the company is one of continual improvement, targets are set on a weekly / monthly / quarterly / annual and 5 year basis and we are always looking for that small improvement in all metrics.

It is a challenging fast paced environment and requires high energy, there is a great crowd of like minded people all eager to improve here and the word “can’t” simply doesn’t exist.

This is a job for high performing technical sales professionals. You get along with people and work with a strong routine against a set plan, with careful attention to daily time management. You are used to working with digital tools and understand details of housebuilding or geotechnics. You are keen on maximising your earnings and working in a strong, competitive team. During your free time you are keen on competitive sports.

1) Company paid leads

2) Sales training programme and certificate

3) Ability to earn 100k+ eur per annum  (subject to top tier performance)

4) Great team members
