Your role is dynamic and customer‑facing, blending technical depth with commercial insight. You may collaborate with engineering teams to refine proposals in the morning, present tailored solutions to customers later in the day, and visit industrial sites across Italy to assess challenges firsthand.

You will join the Proposal Sales & O.H. team in Italy—collaborative, knowledgeable, and customer‑driven. Our culture blends Japanese engineering discipline with an inclusive, modern European mindset. We value respect, ownership, integrity, and teamwork, while encouraging people to share ideas and grow together.

You have a strong technical background and the confidence to engage customers as a trusted advisor. You are analytical, proactive, and detail‑oriented, yet commercially minded.
