A market under load

Recruiting for the electrification of Europe

Grid upgrades, storage projects, charging infrastructure, electrified production: demand in electrical technology has outrun the number of people who can sell it. Order books are full and delivery times long - and the bottleneck has quietly moved from production to the commercial side.

The people who close these deals sit between engineering and procurement. They read single-line diagrams, argue availability and total cost of ownership, and keep their nerve in project business where planners, EPC contractors, installers and utilities all have a say. That profile is scarce, well paid and rarely looking - which is why we approach them directly instead of posting ads.

Whether you are a switchgear builder entering a new country, a power-electronics manufacturer building a European sales organisation or a storage specialist hiring its first Country Manager: we run the search in the market’s own language and hand you people who have sold electrical technology through exactly these decision chains before.

Segments we cover

From the panel to the grid connection

Electrical technology is not one market but a chain of them - each with its own buyers, approvals and sales cycles. These are the segments we recruit for:

Switchgear & power distribution

Low- and medium-voltage switchgear, panel building, busbar systems and protection technology.

Power electronics & drives

Inverters, converters, UPS and drive systems - sold into OEMs, industry and infrastructure projects.

Energy storage & battery systems

Storage from container-scale projects to commercial and industrial systems, including energy management.

Charging infrastructure & e-mobility

AC and DC charging, depot and fleet projects, plus the backend and service business behind them.

Building & installation technology

Electrical installation, KNX and building automation, lighting and energy management systems.

Renewables & grid connection

PV, wind and grid connection technology - project business with EPCs, utilities and installers.

Where the load is

Europe is electrifying faster than it can hire. We find the people who sell it.

Positions we fill

Sales & leadership positions we recruit

From the first commercial hire in a market to a European sales organisation - these are the roles energy and electrical technology clients trust us with:

Sales Manager / Area & Regional Sales Manager

Country Manager

Your first hire in a new market: opens the country, owns the P&L, builds distribution and later the local team.

Head of Sales / Sales Director

Leads and professionalises the sales organisation - pipeline discipline, key accounts, pricing and forecast quality.

Business Development Manager

Opens new applications and segments: from components into systems, or from industry into infrastructure projects.

Technical Sales / Application Engineer

Specification work, system design and consultative selling into project business with long decision chains.

Key Account Manager (utilities, EPC & OEM)

Owns the accounts that carry the volume: utilities, EPC contractors, OEMs and large installers.

Technical sales and sales leadership across the whole commercial organisation: Sales Manager, Area and Regional Sales Manager, Country Manager, Head of Sales, Business Development Manager, Key Account Manager and Technical Sales or Application Engineers. Typical clients are switchgear builders, power-electronics and storage manufacturers, charging-infrastructure providers and electrical installation specialists expanding across Europe.

Yes - these are the fastest-moving corners of the market and the ones where sales talent is scarcest. We place people who have sold project business to utilities, EPC contractors, fleet operators and installers, and who know how long these decision chains really are.

All of Europe. Most mandates centre on the DACH region, Poland, the Nordics, France, Italy and Spain; searches run in the local language by consultants who work that market daily. For a market entry we also advise on employment setup, typical packages and what top candidates in that country expect.

You typically receive a first shortlist within 2–4 weeks, and most mandates are signed within 6–10 weeks. Candidates in this market are in demand and often have three-month notice periods, which we factor into the timeline from day one.

We only work technical sales and leadership roles in industrial niches - energy and electrical technology among them. That focus means we speak the language of your products, screen candidates for technical depth rather than CV keywords, and bring an active network instead of a database. As a boutique agency you work directly with the consultant who runs your search.

Fill your key sales roles across Europe - now.
