Your existing network and understanding of the Engine & Power Generation market will be key to our success. We are looking for someone who knows the industry, has established relationships with relevant customers and decision-makers, and can use this experience to identify where KK Group can create value and grow our business.

Strong commercial mindset with experience in consultative and value-based selling
Ability to identify customer needs and translate them into relevant business opportunities
